Ales 'N Tails Oktoberfest At The Essex County Turtle Back Zoo This October In NJ
Aug 09, 2017 Dr. Kristina Nelson
On October 14th, The Essex County Turtle Back Zoo will host the Ales ‘N Tails Oktoberfest, a celebration of beer, bands, and animals that will raise money to benefit the Essex County Parks Foundation. At the event, a live Oompah Band will entertain you while you sample dozens of seasonal brews crafted by both local and international brewers. Several local craft and food vendors will also be present, offering you the opportunity to eat and shop.
A Charitable Event
Yes, you will be able to have some fun mingling with others and being able to be around cute animals at this event, but what is also very important is to realize that this event’s proceeds will go to help fund the Essex County Parks Foundation. This Foundation assists local activities and parks throughout the Essex County area. So, while you sample beer, enjoy live entertainment, and shop, you’ll also be making a valuable contribution to the local area.
The Essex County Turtle Back Zoo, the event promoters also hosting the event, operate the community zoo. During the event, certain areas of the zoo will be closed off to protect some of the animals that sleep at night. However, you will still get to experience some areas of the zoo, including the Reptile House and Touch Tank exhibits. Also, several other nocturnal animals will also be out for viewing, including penguins, bison, and prairie dogs. You can also hop on the zoo’s evening train, or enjoy its carousel ride.
