Volksfests, or “People’s Festivals,” are a cherished German tradition, and the Peoria German American Central Society has proudly carried on this legacy since the 1930s. This year’s festival promises a vibrant celebration of German heritage, offering something for everyone in the warm, welcoming atmosphere of a traditional German Biergarten. No dogs or outside coolers allowed during the fest.  We do permit service animals.  We do have a drop off zone for elderly, handicapped and those with small children.  This is a Cash-only event; no ATM on site – please plan accordingly.
