Kids Boo Fest and Oktoberfest return to Six Flags Great Adventure on Saturday, September 12, and run on select days through November 1. Both events’ activities are included with park admission, while Oktoberfest food and beverages are sold separately.

Costumes, candy and Halloween games

Kids Boo Fest gives families trick-or-treating, themed games and activities, live entertainment and photo opportunities. Children are encouraged to wear costumes for the Halloween celebration.

Oktoberfest food and drinks

Oktoberfest, presented by Cash App, adds German food, seasonal beverages and entertainment. The menu includes sauerbraten, knockwurst and bratwurst on pretzel buns, cheesy spaetzle, potato pancakes, pierogies and Bavarian pretzels with beer cheese.

For guests 21 and older, beer choices include Paulaner Oktoberfest, Hefeweizen, Munich Lager and Grapefruit Radler, plus Samuel Adams Oktoberfest and Boston Lager.

Oktoberfest activities are included with admission, but the food and drinks cost extra.

A free friend ticket for eligible passholders

The opening weekend also brings a Free Bring-A-Friend offer on September 12 and 13. Eligible passholders can redeem one complimentary admission ticket at their home park. Restrictions and exclusions apply.

Check Great Adventure’s official calendar for operating hours and the dates available for your visit. The festivals run on select days, rather than every day during the September 12–November 1 period.
