Yorktoberfest 2023

A beer and wine festival in the picturesque Pennsylvania Dutch Country

Dates: October 14, 2023

Yorktoberfest is a wine and beer festival held during the second weekend of October at York Memorial Park in York, Pennsylvania. Nestled in southern Pennsylvania, York is famous for its Victorian-era Bonham House and the Colonial Complex, which includes a mid-1700s home. But most of all, the area is known for its vineyards, which are part of the Mason-Dixon Wine Trail.

The annual Yorktoberfest boasts a festive atmosphere, several dozens of vendors, great music, and food. Admission to the festival is free, but you'll need a ticket for limitless samples of Pennsylvania wine or craſt beers. Try some frothy ales or Pennsylvania wines and listen to wandering minstrel entertainment. The grassy lawns of the York Memorial Park Complex suit perfectly for a leisurely picnic with a glass of wine or a wine slushie.

Yorktoberfest also features up to 25 breweries from York County. Most of them belong to the York County Ale Trail. Attendees can expect multiple selections from each brewery as well as collaborations, special releases, and more. About 35 vendors offer local crafts that southern Pennsylvania is famous for. Excellent live entertainment on the main stage is provided by local artists.
