The excitement continues on Saturday when we begin the afternoon with a ceremonial keg tapping by our Mayor Lori Carnes. Followed by entertainment from Auerhahn Schuhplatter Verein German Dancers, GTV Edelweiss Dancers from Liederkranz, German Alumni Band, Happy Dutchman German Band and Fitz Magee.

Under the beer tent, you will discover an impressive selection of German and locally brewed beers and cider, where you can raise a glass with old friends, or make new ones as you savor the flavors of this beloved beverage.
