German American Festival and Event Page- September

German American Festival and Event Page for September
Take a look at our list!

September is Oktoberfest Season! You’ll find plenty of Oktoberfests across the country, but also a Swiss Festival, and maybe a concert or lecture.

See the whole year HERE

Do you know of any Events or German Festival that’s not on the list? Maybe a concert or lecture? Perhaps an online zoom talk, or a museum presentation. Send me an email at [email protected]…. it would be helpful if you could include a link to the event. I’ll post the information and pass it on for everyone to see.

Please check the Festival Website or Page for schedule changes before you go!
