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. From bratwurst and schnitzel to strudel and spaetzle, experience the flavors that echo the town’s rich heritage.

As you stroll, enjoy the lively atmosphere and be sure to visit downtown breweries offering authentic and seasonal beer selections for purchase—perfect for pairing with your bites.

Discover how German immigrants shaped Hanover’s early prosperity through farming and milling, and celebrate that legacy with an afternoon of food, fun, and festivity.

Please note* A detailed list of participating businesses will be included closer to the event.
