Along Ridge Avenue from Lyceum to Leverington Avenue festival-goers will enjoy over 100 vendors including restaurants, bars, breweries, distilleries, artists, makers, small businesses and sponsors. The event is free and open to the public with food and drink pay-as-you-go.
“Roxtoberfest is where the magic of community, the talents of great local entertainers and the flavor of Oktoberfest combine to create unforgettable memories," said RDC's new Executive Director Jacqueline “Jax” Cusack. "Join in the fall fun and celebrate Roxborough's long time tradition with neighbors, friends and family!"
Roxtoberfest started off in 2013 as a small neighborhood street festival by RDC with help from community partners. It has grown each year to become one of the most well-known fall festivals in the region.
