Craft beers. Missouri wines. Live entertainment. Quality artisans. Gute Zeiten for all!
Saint Charles or St. Charles, Missouri is home to the Midwest Mayfest—a one day family friendly festival celebrating Spring’s arrival and the area’s German heritage. This year’s festival will be held in New Town on Saturday, May 3.
“Our vision is to provide the ultimate German festival in St. Charles County by offering quality German cultural entertainment in a fun, family friend atmosphere, to support exchange programs, and to create a renaissance of interest in Missouri’s German heritage.” says St. Charles Sister Cities Programs, Inc. For more than 30 years the non-profit all volunteer organization and one of as many as sixteen clubs belonging to the German American Committee (GAC) of St. Louis, has been dedicated to promoting and preserving its German heritage through cultural events and educational exchanges. In 2024, the organization added a Brewers Exchange—a program where two local brewers were assisted with an adventure to Belgium and Germany to experience the centuries old process of Reinheistgebot and to return with ideas for a Sister Cities brew. Plans are underway to support an expansion of specialty exchanges to include professional firefighters as well as other professions.
