FILO to Produce Germanfest

The West End Federation of St. Paul and FILO Productions, Inc. will team up to organize the inaugural Germanfest Heritage Festival on the site of the historic Schmidt Brewery production facilities. The dates are June 21st and 22nd, 2014 with the event taking place from 8:00 am – 9:00 pm on Saturday and 10:00 am – 6:00 pm on Sunday. The estimated attendance for this event is 10,000-15,000 individuals per day.

This family-friendly event will not be similar to the stereotypical “Oktoberfest” festivals and instead will be focused on celebrating German culture through food, music, dance, art, education, and other activities. The German history of the Schmidt brewery, West St. Paul, and Minnesota will be highlighted in many ways, including various tours of the area. There will be a musical stage, a family area, an arts and crafts area, TVs showing the World Cup soccer tournament, and other fun activities around the site.


Look for the Germanfest website to fully launch January 25th, 2014.
