Ardmore Oktoberfest 2021: What You Need To Know

ARDMORE, PA — Downtown Ardmore will once again transform into a German festival, as Oktoberfest returns for its 11th year to the area.

Ardmore Oktoberfest will be held from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 25 in Schauffele Plaza.

This year's event combines the autumnal festival with Picnic in the Plaza.

Festival goers will enjoy live music, food, drinks, and beer garden-style reserved seating.

Tired Hands Brewing Company and Levante Brewing will offer several beer selections that include local and seasonal favorites.

Sophie’s BBQ will come prepped with a portable smoker to churn out their popular pulled pork and brisket sandwiches and Jack McShea’s will serve German-inspired fare like bratwurst, homemade Bavarian pretzels, and more.

Special VIP access is a new feature for the 2021 event.

VIP advance table reservations are $85 per party and include a dedicated table for three hours for four to eight guests, as well as the first four beers to start the night. Tables are only available by advance reservation to limit and ensure the safety of guests.

For those wanting to attend without a table reservation, advance beer ticket sales are $24 for four beer tickets, and $45 for eight beer tickets.

A limited number of advance beer tickets will be sold for this year.
