Spass Nacht 2025: An Austrian Festival
2025-06-18 17:30 - 21:30 (America/Detroit) | Fraze Pavilion, 695 Lincoln Park Blvd, Kettering, OH, 45429, United States
In honor of Kettering’s sister city, Steyr, Austria, we celebrate with a Spass Nacht (translation: Fun Night). Strap on your lederhosen and join us at this fun annual festival. We’ll bring the authentic food, beverages, polka music and live entertainment–you bring your family and friends to this celebration of all things Austrian. The festivities will take place throughout Lincoln Park. Don’t forget your lawn chair!
The Chardon Polka Band is not your average polka band. They are a group that brings new life and energy to this traditional music. While the group has an extensive catalogue of traditional polkas, they are not afraid to bring their own tunes into the mix along with polka-pop covers of artists like Justin Bieber and Lady Ga Ga.
The Liederkranz-Turner Dancers will in attendance and ready to teach all how to dance. Food and beverages include Metts, Hot Dogs, Potato Salad, Soft Pretzels, Baked Goods, Imported & Domestic Beers, Soft Drinks and Water. All available for purchase.

Germanfest Picnic
2025-08-08 17:00 - 23:00 | dayton liederkrantz, OH, United States
Germanfest has been voted #3 festival in the region and was named by the Dayton Daily News as being in the top 11 food festivals in the region.
There are a few festivals that celebrate German traditions around the city, but this fest dives deeper, to give a glimpse of the German heritage that has given Dayton some of its cultural identity – all while enjoying an import beer and a schnitzel.
The Germanfest Picnic is back with all the Gemuetlichkeit and many of the activities our visitors have come to know and love: lots of that delicious homemade German food, plenty of fantastic German and domestic bier and wein, your favorite bands playing in the biergartens, the Polka Mass, Culture Display, Kinder Korner and food and craft vendors, and a new addition this year – an All-German Car Show on Sunday afternoon.
The heart of the festivities is the Dayton Liederkranz Turner Clubhouse at 1400 E. Fifth Street in one of Dayton’s original German neighborhoods, with the footprint of the festival extending to include Bomberger Park, and part of East Fifth Street from Keowee to Dutoit Streets.
Continuous live entertainment
Patrons can enjoy continuous live music all three days featuring the Klaberheads from Hamilton, OH, Dayton favorite Band 5 and the Aaron Dussing Band out of the Cleveland area, amongst others. A huge tent will offer plenty of shade with tables and chairs to enjoy the live music and dance floor, in addition to hosting lunch and dinner seating.
Authentic German Fare
Tasty picnic fare includes German schnitzel, sausages, cabbage rolls, our famous potato salad, sauerkraut, sandwiches, a wide selection of beverages including a robust selection of draft and bottled German beers, homemade German desserts and ice cream, funnel cakes, Bavarian almonds, and more!
Celebrate German Traditions
The weekend is full of activities for the whole family – beginning with the traditional Opening Ceremony on Friday evening hosted by TV2 Weather personality, Brian Davis. The Dayton Liederkranz Turner Scholarship Award winners will be announced following the keg tapping ceremony. Vendors will line Fifth Street, offering a wide variety of food, German clothing and souvenirs, crafts, and community information.
Traditional Polka Mass
Enjoy a traditional Polka Mass at 10 AM on Sunday, presided over by Fr. Dave Schmitt, with live music provided by the Klaberheads Band. TV2 Meteorologist Jamie Jarosik moderates the much-anticipated Deutsches Trachtenschau (German fashion show) where traditional German attire will be on display, at 2:30 PM on Saturday afternoon. The Kinder Korner provides games, bounce houses and other activities for our youngest visitors.
Culture Booth
The Culture Booth is staffed by volunteers who can discuss German heritage and travel as well as the Liederkranz Turner Club itself. The theme for this year’s Culture Booth is “FAHRVERGNÜGEN: The German Love Affair with Autos” and features an actual German sports car, as well as Kranzi’s Autobahn for the kids. Genealogy volunteers will also be available inside the Clubhouse to help guests investigate their German roots.
The GermanFest Picnic is a genuine German festival with authentic song, dance, food, and traditional clothing. No other German Festival in the area celebrates and shares the region’s German heritage with such fun and entertainment. Admission is free and open to the public with 20,000 to 30,000 attending each year.
Directions to Dayton Liederkranz Turner Clubhouse
The Liederkranz is easy to reach, no matter what direction you are coming from. Just follow your favorite major artery to Main Street in downtown Dayton, then go east on Third Street, to right on Keowee Street to Fifth Street.
