The German-American Steuben Parade has been an exciting and festive happening in New York City for more than five decades, celebrating the cross-cultural influence of those who come from German, Swiss and Austrian backgrounds. One of the most coveted of the many events associated with the parade is Oktoberfest in Central Park. As with any Oktoberfest celebration, there will be plenty of brats, beer, and German-American bands in lederhosen, including the always energetic Die Schlauberger. Prost!
