The Arts Commission is sponsoring an Oktoberfest-themed outdoor event, Platzkonzert Germanfest, on Saturday, Sept. 7, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. (expanded hours!). This celebration of all things German will take place at the Virginia Mary Hayter Village Green off Route 72 in the Prairie Stone Business Park (next to the Sears Centre Arena). German bands will provide authentic Bavarian music, while dancers entertain the crowd. Like last year, German beer will be available for purchase. What better way to compliment authentic sauerkraut and bratwurst? For directions and details, click here. Prost!
