The 11th Annual NB Oktoberfest is coming back to Downtown New Bedford's Pier 3.

One of the very first charges taken on by the South Coast Business Alliance was a partnership with the Boys and Girls Club of New Bedford. In 2007, the group saw an opportunity to contribute to a cause that would provide more than just an activity to the youth of New Bedford...

What is Oktoberfest? It started in 1810 to celebrate the nuptials of German King Ludwig I to his princess Therese of Saxe-Hidburghausen in Germany. The festival in Germany is now a 16 day event in Munich that draws people from all over the world to celebrate Bavarian culture where 7 million litres of beer are consumed.

It was Oktoberfest in New Bedford at the State Pier on Saturday and what a great time it was. There was seasonal brews, great food, and even our New Bedford mayor, Jon Mitchell, got in on the fun.

This Saturday on October 5th at 3pm, the South Coast Business Alliance brings Oktoberfest to New Bedford at the New Bedford Ferry Terminal Building at State Pier.
