Grainbach Trachtenverein Holtzhackertanz 50th Oktoberfest Anniversary Kitchener/Berlin 2018

This year, on the 50th Anniversary Oktoberfest celebration in Kitchener/Berlin, Ontario they made it more authentic by inviting a traditional dance group from Germany - the Grainbach Folkdancers www.trachtenver...
They also had Erdinger Weissbier available this year which is a traditional style beer from southern Germany, which is made from wheat and retains the flavour and nutrition from the yeast. Weißbier, bratwurst and baked pretzels are typical Oktoberfest fare.
In 2018 it was the 50th Year Celebrating Oktoberfest in Kitchener/Berlin. This is the largest Oktoberfest outside of Germany.

The settlement around Kitchener was founded by German Mennonite pioneers from Pennsylvania in 1803. The city was called Berlin up to WW1, when it was renamed due to prejudices at the time. There was a time when Toronto and the province of Ontario had German-speaking majorities.
