Happy German-American Day! 🇺🇸🇩🇪 Today, we honor the incredible history, culture, and achievements of the more than 40 million Americans of German descent who have shaped our communities, industries, and culture.

The roots of this day run deep—back to October 6, 1683, when 13 German-Mennonite families arrived in Philadelphia. In 1987, Congress and President Ronald Reagan officially designated this day to recognize their lasting impact. Whether it’s the food, the festivals, or the history, German heritage has a massive footprint in the US.

Our Alpenrose Schuhplattler Verein-Lancaster and Lancaster Liederkranz Hobby Chor were invited to perform at Lancaster Capital Day on Saturday. From traditional Bavarian dances to heartfelt German choral singing, it was an absolute honor to represent our community and share a taste of our rich cultural heritage. 🇩🇪🇺🇸

This was a pretty cool experience to add to this weekend.
A couple from Germany was in the area and came by. They danced with Alpenrose!

Every morning a dedicated team of volunteers make the Festplatz look like no one was here last night and steadily cooks in the kitchen to prepare today‘s delicious food. The unsung heroes of our club are the army of volunteers helping to make our Oktoberfest one of the best. Come early, stay late. Can’t wait to see everyone today!
