What to know
Cape May Oktoberfest brings a Bavarian-style street festival to the historic district, traditionally centered along Carpenter Lane between Ocean and Perry Streets and continuing down Jackson Street toward Beach Avenue. The event features food, beer garden areas, music, crafts, antiques, collectibles, and vendor tables. The 2026 date should be verified with the Chamber of Commerce of Greater Cape May or City of Cape May before publication because the official 2026 event page was not fully updated at the time of research.
