German Fest, Annual German festival at Henry Maier Festival Park in Milwaukee, Wisconsin
German Fest occupies a large area along Lake Michigan's shoreline, featuring multiple stages, food vendors, and carnival attractions throughout the festival grounds.
The festival started in 1981 after Milwaukee Mayor Henry Maier encouraged the German-American community to establish a cultural celebration in the city.
The festival includes traditional dance performances, music groups from German-speaking regions, and demonstrations of heritage crafts representing various German provinces.
Visitors can download an event guide containing detailed maps, schedules, and transportation information to navigate the extensive festival grounds effectively.
