Festzelt

The Gaufest will follow a traditional schedule with most events held in the Festzelt. Some events will be held inside in the Deutsche Halle. 

The Festzelt will open earlier than the start of each event allowing everyone to arrive, settle in and enjoy camaraderie. 

There’s so much planned for Gaufest that we decided we’re getting a bigger festival tent!

That means more room for dancing, music, singing, card playing, workshops, and camaraderie! It also means there’s more room for YOU!

The elevated stage is hand constructed by carpenters using wood products with excellent stability and seamless panels for preis dancing. The dance floor will be a minimum of 40ft x 40ft (with handicapped accessibility).

Exterior Portable Air-Conditioned restrooms and interior handicapped accessible restrooms will be available.

The Enzian Volkstanzgruppe & the United German Hungarians are honored and to have such cherished friendships with fellow clubs for many a year.
