So, to help you make the most of your summer, we have come up with a list, though not comprehensive, of some of the best events taking place all across the Miami Valley from now until late August.
🌞Germanfest Picnic Lite
Though the original concept of the Germanfest Picnic has been canceled, organizers at the Dayton Liederkranz-Turner have planned an alternative form of the German celebration to satisfy both Germanfest enthusiasts and those who want to remain safe in the age of the coronavirus pandemic.
The Germanfest Picnic Lite will be taking place during the second week of August (certain details surrounding the German celebration have yet to be nailed down) at the Liederkranz facility, located at 1400 E. Fifth St. in St. Anne’s Hill.
Fortunately, much of the food and drink that has made the festival so beloved in the area will be available on site. In fact, the festival’s signature German potato salad and schnitzel will be available for carryout and to be eaten in areas set up around the club.
In addition to munching on German delicacies, visitors may be able to participate in a virtual mass, 5K and fashion show, though it is still not certain if these events will take place. Unfortunately, there will be no food trucks, vendors or bands due to health restrictions.
A full Germanfest Picnic is planned for Aug. 13-15, 2021.
When: The second week of August
Where: Dayton Liederkranz-Turner, 1400 E. Fifth St., Dayton
