This family event features an expansive Munich style tent, live German music, dance troupes, great German food, plenty of big tent Munich beers and dozens of food and arts and crafts vendors. We are pleased to announce that the Arnold Family Carnival will again be with us so there will plenty of great rides for kids of all ages.
