Erntedankfest or the German Thanksgiving began as a rural festival where farmers celebrated the harvest by relaxing after months of hard work! This event celebrates the fall harvest and many of the tasks done to prepare for winter. Artisans will be cooking, baking and demonstrating many different crafts and skills. Music, food and activities for the whole family make this a great fall tradition! 

 

There will be a variety of vendors selling their wares, everything from soap to pottery as well as food and drink among other things! Enjoy a brew from Altered Genius and German food from PJ's Catering or snack from Stangl's Bakery! Learn about Fall and Winter Gardening, blacksmithing, wood working, printmaking, bee keeping and more!​
