Mostly under tents, it serves German food, seasonal beer and German wine with live music and dancing across both days. Friday evening is a 21-and-over session, while Saturday opens to all ages with a Kids' Zone and a Volksmarch walk, and the festival has raised more than $1.3 million for Frederick County causes to date.
