Look Both Ways! It’s All Here.

We’re taking GermanFest to the streets again this year! Michigan and New Jersey Streets to be exact. The streets surrounding the Athenaeum (401 E. Michigan Street) will be closed to the public as we take over and fill them with the tradition and culture of our German ancestors. With plenty of food, drinks, music, and games, this is a party you won’t want to miss!

Live Entertainment.
