Oktoberfest transplanted to Kitchener-Waterloo
Oktoberfest - Transplanted to Kitchener-Waterloo Feb 27, 2006 - Linknet Travel News - The world's second largest Bavarian Oktoberfest celebration is held in Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. The large German community in the Waterloo County area had been accustomed to celebrating Oktoberfest at their local cultural clubs.== Relocating to Kitchener-Waterloo == In 1969, some enterprising citizens took the festival, then being held annually at the Concordia Club in Kitchener, out into the community. They saw it as an opportunity to turn it into a civic event that the entire community could share in. It became a uniquely local celebration of the deep German traditions of the area. Since those first years, the Kitchener-Waterloo Oktoberfest has become the largest Bavarian festival in North America, and hosts the grandest Thanksgiving Day Parade in Canada. == Hotelbewertung - Hotelbewertung lesen.

As in Munich, numerous Festhallen (large beer tents) are set up around the community, and the trademark eating, drinking, and celebrating takes place day and night for two weeks. There are also a growing number of family and cultural events including presentations highlighting German traditions, language, clothing, dancing, music, and cooking. World Traveler | Travel Canada
