Raise your steins and bring your appetites—Oktoberfest – A Taste of Germany is coming to downtown Hanover!

Hanover, Pennsylvania, named after its German sister city, has deep roots in German culture and tradition. Join us for this festive fall stroll through downtown, where local eateries and venues will be serving up delicious German-inspired dishes at each stop.
