What's Happening July, 2008 |
|
Now that we have introduced this wonderful new section, we realize that summer is the time of year where the German-American community seems to be taking time off from large gatherings. Everyone is probably either on vacation or out grilling with neighbors and friends.
If in this season of dearth of German events you know of any in your area which might be worth sharing, please contact us so we can share that information with the Germanfoods community.
Thank you and have a great summer!

Milwaukee, WI
Jul 24 - Jul 27, 2008
There are 4 bigs stages and several smaller stages featuring German bands, folk dancers and ethnic entertainment.
The children's area puts on some plays for the kids, has a craft zone and a Pretzel Park. Here the kids can make their own Germanfest T-shirt, buy edelweiss, and play German board games and video games.
The culture tent has exhibits from all the Milwaukee area German clubs and theme displays of German Americans who have made substantial contributions.
In addition there is a geneaology department, German movies, and German craftsmen.
In the middle of the park is a Kaufzentrum for buying German nutcrackers, smokers, linens, Dirndl und Lederhosen as well as other items.
Dachshund races are a big hit. A 5K run/walk is held on Thursday evening and a beautiful church service is done on Sunday morning in both German and English.
Of course the food and drinks are out of this world. Much of it is made and served by the German clubs including roasting the pigs and chickens.
There is much to see and do, smell and taste, and enjoy the Gemuetlichkeit! For more information, visit the Germanfest web page. |
