During the weekend of September 10-12th, Lincoln Square will be swarmed with Chicago-ites from all over the city as well as out of towners who will be glad they picked this weekend in September to visit. Similar to Maifest, which kicks off the summer, German American Festival is a way to celebrate the end of Summer and welcome the start of Fall. Whether its a pretzel you fancy, polka music, sauerkraut, or a gigantic beer stein, the German American Festival is always an enjoyable time and a way to see Lincoln Square at its most authentic (Where everyone, and I mean everyone, is German!).
The event takes place just steps away from the Western Brown line stop. Just look for the people waving little German flags and hats that resemble Peter Pan. The Fest kicks off on September 10th from 5:00 p.m.-11:00p.m. Then September 11th from 12:00 p.m.-11:00 p.m. and concludes on September 12th from 12:00 p.m.-10:00 p.m. Admission is free which allows anyone and everyone to enjoy the sites and sounds of the festival, however food and drinks must be purchased by tickets. This year the festival is celebrating its 90th year of German fun! So make sure to stop by, grab a brat, drink some beer and get ready to boogy down with an electric accordion.
