There will be genuine German cuisine, live Bavarian biergarten music and plenty of cold specialty beers and beverages of all sorts are on tap.
A bandstand and a big dance floor, ringed with garden canopies, tables and chairs, will set the scene on the green of Heritage Park in Gardnerville for the 17th annual festival, which reflects the history of German families who moved to the Carson Valley from Minden, Germany, in the last century.
