FRYBURG, Pa. — Join the fun and have “ein prosit der Gemütlichkeit” at St. Michael Parish in Fryburg on October 20, 2018, for the 45th Annual Oktoberfest celebration!St. Michael’s Oktoberfest began in 1973 as a way for the Fryburg community to celebrate and share its rich German heritage. The majority of Fryburg’s original settlers came from southwestern Germany throughout the 1820s and 1830s, particularly from the region of Baden-Württemberg in which its namesake, the city of Freiburg im Breisgau, is located.
The evening will feature a buffet of authentic German food made from the treasured recipes of St. Michael’s parishioners, as well as singing & dancing, games of chance, raffles, and live entertainment featuring “G.T.E.V. D’Lustigen Isartaler,” the Pittsburgh region’s premiere authentic Bavarian & Austrian singing & dancing group as well as music by “The Mar-Vels.”
Doors open at 6:00 p.m.
