Get Ready to Polka! Philly's Biggest Maifest Celebration
What to Expect: A Taste of Germany in the Heart of Philly
- Party under the Maypole: Snap those selfies before Philly's largest Maypole, a traditional centerpiece of Maifest celebrations. Watch (or even join!) as dancers in colorful costumes swirl around the pole.
- Cheers to Spring! Sample a vast selection of authentic German beers, from crisp lagers to fruity wheat beers. Pretzels and wurst are a must, and if you're feeling adventurous, grab a Schnapsski to share!
- Oompah All Day: Live music from the beloved band "Die Heimatklange" will sway you to polka beats and party hits.
- Firm Arms and Stronger Spirits: Witness the hilarious spectacle of the Liter Lift Competition. Can you hold a full liter of beer with an outstretched arm? These contestants think so!
- Family Fun: Flower crowns, face painting, and many games make this a blast for all ages.
Insider Tip: This party gets massive – over 10,000 people fill South Street for the Maifest magic. Arrive early to pick your spot, especially if you want to grab a table. If the crowd overwhelms, duck into Brauhaus Schmitz for a more traditional sit-down experience.
