This weekend, the Dayton Liederkranz-Turner German Club will be celebrating all things German, just in time for Oktoberfest season and German-American Day, which falls on Wednesday, Oct. 6.

A little over a month ago, the German Club celebrated a monumental success with their popular Germanfest Picnic.

On Saturday, Oct. 2 from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m., guests are invited to dust off their dirndls and lederhosen and head to a celebration at the club, located in St. Anne’s Hill Historic District.

The event will feature authentic German food, music and beverages. Guests can also pre-order their food on the club’s website or walk in to place an order and get it to go. While pre-ordering, customers can schedule a time for curbside pickup. Those who wish to stay for the festivities can also enjoy their food at the clubhaus.

As for food options, guests can look forward to munching on a number of German favorites such as sauerkraut, cabbage rolls, brats, potato salad and cherry streusel cake. German beer will also be available.

Admission is free and there will be free parking across the street at Stivers School for the Arts as well.
