Germanfest 2019
Celebrate German Heritage (even if you're not German) with all things German like Kuchen, Bier (that's beer for us Americans) and hospitality at Germanfest this Saturday! The event is organized by local volunteers who want to help give back to their Sioux Falls community through this free festival that is open to the public at Fawick Park and Avera IT parking lot Downtown.
