Villages Oktoberfest

The Villages German Club is sponsoring the 12th annual Oktoberfest on Sunday, October 26 from 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm in the Clubhouse.

The cost is $35.00 for Villagers and $40 for Visitors. The cost includes good food, music by the Alpiners USA Band and Dancing!

For a bit of history: the first Oktoberfest was held in the year 1810 in honor of the Bavarian Crown Prince Ludwig's marriage to Princess Therese von Saxony. The festivities began on Oktober 12, 1810 and ended on Oktober 17 with a horse race. In the following years the celebrations were prolonged and moved into September to allow for better weather conditions.

Come "Celebrate with Joyful Hearts" and learn more about this wonderful Bavarian festival.
