Newport Oktoberfest is a haven for food lovers seeking the ultimate Bavarian cuisine experience. With a menu brimming with German-inspired dishes, this culinary hotspot satisfies the cravings of even the most discerning palates. Sink your teeth into the Bavarian sausage, tantalizing with its robust flavors and expertly crafted recipe that has been passed down for generations. For a taste of German street food, indulge in the currywurst, where juicy sausage meets a heavenly curry sauce, resulting in a harmonious blend of flavors that will transport you straight to the streets of Berlin. Craving a classic? Look no further than the Reuben sandwich, a towering masterpiece that layers corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, and Russian dressing on perfectly toasted rye bread. Dive into the world of Goetta with the unique Goetta balls, crispy on the outside and full of savory goodness on the inside. The Oktoberfest pretzel, with its generous size and soft texture, pairs perfectly with savory cheese for a delightful snack or appetizer. But it doesn't end there - prepare to be enchanted by the indulgent Bavarian cream puff, filled with velvety vanilla cream. And for those with a sweet tooth, Superbrat also offers an array of traditional German pastries, from flaky strudels bursting with apple or cherry fillings to innovative creations highlighting the versatility of Goetta, such as Goetta Mac & Cheese or Goetta Corn Dogs. Just when you thought it couldn't get any better, don't forget to save room for the beloved funnel cakes, a sweet treat that adds the perfect finishing touch to your culinary journey. 

 

"Newport Oktoberfest is the highlight of the year for us, and we can't wait to bring the joy and excitement of this beloved festival to Newport," says Event Organizer, David Wertheim.
