Oktoberfest Pub Crawl Happening Sunday in Riverhead
The people who brought SantaCon and the March of the Leprechauns to Riverhead are adding a fall pub crawl to the lineup and this time the theme is Oktoberfest. Lederhosen is encouraged.
Sunday, October 18, between noon and 8 p.m. Riverhead bars, restaurants and breweries will offer special Oktoberfest deals to patrons who purchase a $10 bracelet. Bracelet proceeds will be donated to the North Fork Breast Health Coalition, in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and to Riverhead Townscape, a nonprofit that beautifies downtown Riverhead and hosts the annual Riverhead Country Fair.
SantaCon and March of the Leprechauns both drew about 1,200 participants to Riverhead, and each rose about $12,000 for charities and nonprofits. Past beneficiaries included the East End Emerald Society, Maureen’s Haven and the New Beginnings Brendan House.
