Come fall, the township\u2019s annual \u201cBricktoberfest\u201d celebration will evolve into a new event dubbed \u201cFall Fest.\u201d<\/p>\n

After two years, officials are tweaking the annual fall gathering to improve the experience and expand some of its offerings, said Mayor John Ducey. Another reason for the change: accuracy.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverybody thought that it was going to be German themed,\u201d Ducey said. \u201cThey thought there would be German food and German beer.\u201d<\/p>\n

While a few German beers may have made the menu, Bricktoberfest didn\u2019t have the German identity to back up its name. Fall Fest \u2013 so named because of residents\u2019 familiarity with Summerfest \u2013 will still take place at Windward Beach Park, but come with some new features for attendees.<\/p>\n

The event will feature more than 20 food trucks, entertainment and be more focused on the beach area than the grass. Attendees will be able to enjoy beer and wine while sitting on the beach around one of the fire pits.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re not going to be penned-in like you are at Summerfest,\u201d said Ducey.<\/p>\n

The event, which will take place during the daytime hours, is still in the planning stages. Ducey said township employees, rather than an outside event planning company, will handle Fall Fest\u2019s organization in order to save money.<\/p>\n
