This spring, several of our members set sail on a memorable Danube River cruise, exploring the rich culture, history, and traditions of Central Europe together.

While many know us for Oktoberfest, festivals, and celebrations here in Rochester, our organization is about so much more. We share a passion for German heritage, friendships, and adventures that extend far beyond our local community.

From Rochester to the heart of Europe, Prost to friendship, travel, and keeping our traditions alive wherever we go! 🇩🇪🇦🇹🇭🇺
