Germantown Oktoberfest
It’s time to
raise your stein and celebrate like they did in the old country – with a biergarten
and lots of family fun. The Oktoberfest started with the celebration of the
marriage of King Louis I of Bavaria, and Princess Therese von Sachsen-Hildburghausen.
The community was invited by the royal family to celebrate in the public fields
in front of the city gates. The day ended with horse races but the tradition
continued year after year and became known as Oktoberfest.
Join us Saturday, October 5th from 10:00 am – 5:00 pm for lots
of celebrating, including:
·
games and activities for kids
·
traditional
German music and polka dancing
·
food
and craft vendors
·
biergarten
for adults age 21 and over
Oktoberfest
