Arts and Entertainment

April 19, 2023

From: Long Island Bavarian Festival

Join us at Plattduetsche Park Biergarten for Original Enzian's 49th Annual Bavarian Festival! We invite you and your family to immerse yourselves in the rich German culture and heritage that has made this festival a beloved tradition for nearly half a century.

This event will feature an array of lively activities, delicious food and drinks, and traditional music and dance. Stroll through our vendor area to discover unique treasures and souvenirs. Take part in exciting contests and attractions for both adults and kids, including games, arts and crafts, and more.

Food & Drinks

It just wouldn’t be a Bavarian festival without the delicious food and beer to wash it down! Sample perfectly seasoned and cooked bratwurst on a pretzel bun with sauerkraut or our giant 10 oz. Bavarian pretzel imported directly from Munich, made even better by adding warm craft beer cheese. Go super traditional with potato pancakes, house made by Executive Chef Herbert Aigner following a traditional recipe. We have more traditional and modern menu choices, so there’s something for everyone. It all goes great with a German beer; you have your choice of several different styles on tap. For those who like a lighter beer, Krombacher Hell or a Schöfferhofer Grapefruit fits the bill. Try a hefeweisse from Erdinger, a more traditional lager like Spaten or a nice smooth dark beer like Krombacher Dunkel.

A Coffee/Cake Booth is available, providing a variety of desserts from Riesterer’s Bakery, coffee and tea.
