FILO Productions, Inc and The West End Federation of St. Paul, will team up to organize the inaugural Germanfest Heritage Festival on the site of the historic Schmidt Brewery production facilities.
The Fort Road Federation serves as the district council and community development corporation for Saint Paul's 9th District, the West 7th St neighborhood. The Federation was created in 1973 in the belief that citizens banding together could maintain and improve the quality of life in their neighborhood and help commercial endeavors prosper.
The dates for Germanfest are June 21st and 22nd, 2014 with the hours of operations going from 10:00 am – 10:00 pm on Saturday and 10:00 am – 7:00 pm on Sunday. There will be no cost for parking or admission.
This family-friendly event will not be the stereotypical “Oktoberfest” festival, instead will be focused on celebrating German culture through food, music, dance, art, education, and other activities. The German history of the Schmidt brewery, 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.
