Raise a stein to spring with the Germania Society. Maifest is the traditional German celebration of the season, and the Society isn’t cutting any corners with this authentic bash. Carnival rides, traditional food, a spring flower market and games for kids and adults transform Germania Park into a tiny slice of Europe. Choose a homemade Maiwein or local craft beer in a German style and dance to live music from the likes of The Dynamic Duo, Chardon Polka Band and Hoot & Holler. Merchandise, gifts and crafts will also be for sale all weekend long.
6 p.m.-midnight Friday; noon-midnight Saturday; noon-8 p.m. Sunday. $3 adults; kids 12 and under free. Germania Park, 3529 W. Kemper Road, Fairfield, germaniasociety.com.
