Happy Spring! Join us May 18 for our 2024 Maifest!

The day comes alive with the resonant sounds of live music, capturing the essence of Germany’s musical heritage, while traditional singing and dancing showcase the heartwarming beauty of time-honored songs and dances. The ceremonial keg tapping, where the first drop of beer is released to the cheers of the crowd, marks the official beginning of the festivities. Witness the grand coronation of our Maifest royalty, a moment of grace and splendor.
