German Fest

German Fest logoGet Your Deutsch On! Celebrating its 39th year, German Fest returns to Milwaukee’s lakefront the weekend of July 26-28. Plenty of great German food and live music, bier (of course) and a lot of fun events. The 14th annual Dachshund Derby runs – literally – at 1pm Sunday. The STIHL Timbersports Series 2019 U.S. Pro & Collegiate Championships happens all three days at German Fest, with plenty of thrilling, chopping, and sawing action!

They’ll have games, prizes, information and fun for the whole family!  A portion of Sunday’s ticket sales will benefit these four charities.
