Fiesta® Gartenfest
• Founded in 1867, the Beethoven Maennerchor is the oldest active singing society in Texas.
• Proceeds from Fiesta® Gartenfest help the Beethoven preserve German music, language, customs, and culture in San Antonio.
• Entertainment includes the 50-piece Beethoven Concert Band, the Beethoven German Dance Band, and the Beethoven Big Band. The Beethoven Männerchor and Damenchor will lead sing-a-longs of Biergarten favorites.
• Kings, queens, and ambassadors: El Rey Feo will visit on Wed., April 26 and King Antonio on Thurs., April 27
• Beer, wine, and soft drinks available, including 15 different German brews on tap.
• What does it take to feed a hungry crowd? One ton of sausage, 5,000 buns and 800 pounds of sauerkraut…and that’s just to serve bratwurst! We’ve also got Reuben sandwiches, Leberkäse, Bavarian pretzels, potato pancakes and other German specialties.”
