St. Michael Parish in Fryburg to Celebrate 44th Annual Oktoberfest This Saturday

| October 18, 2017

FRYBURG, Pa. – Join the fun and have “ein prosit der Gemütlichkeit” at St. Michael Parish in Fryburg on October 21, 2017, for the 44th Annual Oktoberfest celebration.

St. Michael’s Oktoberfest began in 1973 as a way for the Fryburg community to celebrate and share its rich German heritage. The vast majority of the original settlers of Fryburg came from southwestern Germany throughout the 1820s and 1830s, particularly from the region of Baden-Württemberg in which its namesake, the city of Freiburg im Breisgau, is located.

The evening will feature a buffet of authentic German food made from the treasured recipes of St. Michael’s parishioners, as well as singing and dancing, games of chance, raffles, and live entertainment featuring the “The Mar-Vels.”

Doors open at 6:00 p.m. Guests must be 21 years or older to enter.

All proceeds from the Oktoberfest benefit St. Michael Parish. Tickets are $25.00 and can be purchased in advance at the following locations:

  • Fryburg: First United National Bank, St. Michael Parish Rectory
  • Marble: Montana’s Country Café
  • Lucinda: Kelly’s Grocery
  • Shippenville: Shippenville Red & White
  • Clarion: Faller’s Better Furniture
  • Oil City: First United National Bank
  • Franklin: First United National Bank

EDITOR’S NOTE: “ein prosit der Gemütlichkeit” derives from the popular Oktoberfest song “Ein Prosit” and translates to “a toast to cheer and good times” in English.
