Germanfest
2:00 PM (America/Denver)
Caras Park
Description:
Germanfest, the annual celebration of Missoula's Sister City partnership with Neckargemnd, Germany, occurs on Sunday, September 4th, from 2:00-6:00 pm in Caras Park in downtown Missoula. The event is occurring one week earlier this year, over Labor Day Weekend. Admission as always is free!

The Vancouver, BC-based German band S-Bahn (www.sbahnmusic.com) returns to the festival this year with their high-energy performance. For the hungry and thirsty, there will be plenty of bratwurst, pretzels, dessert, pop and German beer for sale, as well as commemorative beer steins. The food will be provided by Covered Wagon Hot Dogs and Black Cat Bakery, and the beer provided by Bayern Brewing. Missoula Mayor John Engen will attend as the event mc, and Bayern Brewmaster Jrgen Knoeller will be on hand to tap the Oktoberfest wooden keg. There will also be commemorative beer steins for sale, children's activities, and information about Missoula's sister-city of Neckargemnd. Several local businesses have donated items for a raffle to benefit Missoula's high school students visiting our sister city.

Germanfest is produced by the Missoula Cultural Council with the help of the University of Montana German Department and many dedicated volunteers. For more information, call 541-0860 or visit www.missoulacultural.org.
