German-American friendship is lived As reported by DAGA-President Helmuth Wächter, the US Army has given its approval so that this year the popular AmericanMexican dishes can be offered in three original US tents. A small arms show is also planned, as well as the presentation of some "muscle cars" on the edge of the fairground, so that at least on a small scale, there will be a certain atmosphere like at the previous fests. For the first time children's afternoon - festival program To date, the following program is planned: It starts on Friday, August 5 at 11 a.m. with the tapping of the keg, followed by a fest operations with entertainment provided by the Grafenwoehr town band. The fest ends at midnight. On Saturday, August 6, the fest opens from 1 p.m. to midnight and catchy music will be playing in the tent. On Sunday, August 7, at 11 a.m., the Dießfurth Hammerschlossmusik will play for the morning pint. A DJ will entertain visitors until the fest ends at 11 p.m. For the first time, there will be a children's afternoon on Monday, August 8 with greatly reduced fares. As a special attraction, two performances of the popular Kasperl theater are offered in the beer tent. Admission is free on all four days. Of course, this small replacement fest will not be able to match the major events of the past decades, but it should demonstrate that the German-American friendship endures even in times of crisis. Note for visitors: Parking is available in the area of Dießfurther Straße (entrance) and Felsmühlstraße (exit). | by Helmut Amschler 29 | Bavarian Times

Grafenwoehr, Germany -- After the traditional German-American Volksfest in the military training area had to be canceled for the third time in a row this year, those responsible at the German-American Community Council (DAGA), together with the Heindl family, decided to hold at least a smaller replacement fest. Twice it was the corona pandemic that forced the cancellation and this year it is the war of aggression against Ukraine and the associated military operations that make a fest in the camp impossible.
