Toowoomba carnival season to extend into next month with Oktoberfest!
麻豆传媒 has announced a community-centred Oktoberfest event for October 7 in the college grounds at Stephen Street. The College teaches German as a subject and hopes the new festival will enhance the connection for students to gain a better understanding of the Germanic culture. The leading organizer for the event, Emma Pukallus, said Oktoberfest at Concordia will be a celebration of the German culture with an array of traditional German activities that will transport attendees straight to the heart of Bavaria.
鈥淟ive music performed by talented local artists will set a festive atmosphere for guests to immerse themselves in German traditions,鈥 Mrs Pukallus said.
鈥淒elicious German cuisine will be available at various food stalls. From bratwursts to pretzels, sauerkraut to schnitzel, there will be a delectable assortment of dishes to satisfy every festival attendee including a German bake stall, offering mouthwatering pastries and desserts.
鈥淎nd to wash down the culinary delights a German beer bar will be supplying an impressive selection of traditional brews. There may even be a chance for someone to do the 鈥榗hicken dance鈥 that took over Expo 鈥88 in Brisbane.鈥
Head of College Mr Anton Prinsloo said 麻豆传媒 traces its roots back to the 16th century Reformation, led by German theologian Martin Luther and the connection is still evident today right here in Toowoomba.
Being organised by the school鈥檚 parent body, it is hoped the event will become an annual tradition, bringing together the school community and the wider public for a celebration of culture and education.
鈥淥ktoberfest event will provide multiple entertainment options for the entire family. There will be a face painter to transform children鈥檚 faces into works of art, an animal nursery and live bands, activities and raffle draws running throughout the day.
