the traditions, dress, music and dance of Old Bavaria. The
Societies own and operate a beautiful complex on the northern
edge of Milwaukee which includes the BAVARIAN INN,
HEIDELBERG PARK, world class SOCCER FIELDS and large parking

We celebrate the oldest and most
authentic BAVARIAN OKTOBERFEST in the Mid-West - every September
on the three weekends following Labor Day. Continuous
entertainment from 5pm Friday, 4pm Saturday, and 2pm Sunday includes
"old-time" German brass bands, "Schuhplattler" folk dancing,
singing, yodeling,…plus sing - along and dancing for everyone.
On the first Saturday, the "Muenchner Kindl" (Oktoberfest Queen)
is chosen. Candidates for this title are unmarried young women
representing the various societies.
|
Tasty German style food is
available in the Park. Plate dinners of charbroiled chicken,
bratwurst or "spanferkel" (young pig spit-roasted over an
open pit) " include potato salad, coleslaw and bread. Rollbraten" (sliced roast pork on a
Kaiser roll), hot dogs, pretzels and sweet roasted almonds are
available. Desserts include fruit strudel, tortes and assorted
homemade cakes.
There's plenty of Milwaukee's favorite beverage on tap -
imported and domestic - as well as wine coolers, soft drinks and
coffee.
|
The main festivities take place in
our "BAVARIAN FEST GARTEN" - an Alpine style pavilion equipped
with weather curtains on the open sides. Picnic tables and
benches seat up to 2000 under one roof in the FEST GARTEN with
more tables out under the trees in the Park.
