This year, the festival will take place on Saturday, October 5th from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. so get it on your calendar now! 

Local breweries participating include Brawling Bear Brewing, Crooked Crab, True Respite Brewing Co., Waredaca Brewing Company and more. World of Beer Bar and Kitchen and Pour Vino n’ Hops will also be making appearances. Pair these great local beers with German-themed eats for ultimate satisfaction. The entertainment for the day will take over two stages, one on Maryland Avenue with the other on Town Square, with plenty of traditional German music and soft rock. Get ready for a good time!
