Gemütlichkeit: A German word that means warmth, friendliness, and good cheer. That’s exactly what you’ll find at Anton's Garden in downtown Waterloo. 🍻
We’re excited to launch the first edition of our Downtown Connections series, all about bringing people together and highlighting the incredible people and places that make downtown special.
Take 5 minutes out of your day to hear from Annie as she sits down with our Events & Marketing Coordinator Morgan to talk about Anton’s, its story, and the sense of community it brings to downtown.
Watch now and get connected. ❤️
