HCR members are invited to take part in a German festival that marks the arrival of spring: Maifest, “the little sister of Oktoberfest.” This year there will be about 6-8 Beer vendors and 4 wine vendors from Germany and Texas. Maifest has the same friendly, welcoming atmosphere as Oktoberfest, but it has its own special brew: Maibock beer. Off the Grid, Walburg Boys and Lederhosen Junkies will play your favorite tunes.

There will be a Kinderzone (kid’s area) with kid’s activities.

This is not an HCR event. See more details at GTHS Beer and Wine Festival
