Back in March 1970, Steyr, Austria, became Kettering’s sister city. To honor that relationship, Kettering hosts a free annual celebration of Austrian food, music and culture at the Fraze Pavilion.

The free event will feature authentic Austrian food, beverages, polka music by the Schnapps Band and other live entertainment. Guests are encouraged to wear their best lederhosen and bring their lawn chairs. These festivities will take place throughout Lincoln Park.

Guests are not permitted to bring their pets or coolers.
