It's hard to believe that three days of German Fest have gone by. It must be all of the munching on rollbraten, sipping on beer and wine, and live entertainment that's made the time fly. Still, have no fear, the party is still on. In fact, German Fest has saved the best for last and is going out with a "bang".
The German Fest organizers are packing three times the "boom" into one spectacular evening of pyrotechnics tonight with "Rhapsody in Boom". It's the largest fireworks display in German Fest's 28 year history. They used to have fireworks each night. This year, "Rhapsody in Boom" is coming in as a one-night show that is a must-see. Music, by some of Germany's greatest composers, along with some traditional fireworks favorites will be pumped throughout the grounds and synched to specialty fireworks displays, designed by Bartolotta's.
Of course, there is plenty to do and see at German Fest before the fireworks. I would recommend, downloading a stage schedule to bring with so you make sure not to miss these great acts before German Fest has to close its gates after another great year.
P.S., thanks for checking in with my blog. I had a great time serving as the 2008 German Fest Ambassador and I appreciated every "click" on my posts. Who knows, maybe I'll see you back on the blogosphere next year!

It can't touch Harry Potter for scope of popularity but in some pockets of pop culture, the Twilight series has reached Beatlemania in intensity. The "young adult" novels about a handsome teenage vampire boy and the mortal girl who loves him have sold 17
No, we didn't ask for an album featuring another recording of "Breathe," leading into "Time," leading into "Breathe (Reprise)," as happens on tracks two through four on Live in Gdansk. But Pink Floyd completists (we are legion) will want it anyway. Howeve
Jorge "El Guero" Hernandez may be the best-known regional Mexican artist with Milwaukee roots. Most of a decade has passed since he and brother Rogelio moved to San Antonio, but El Guero's Banda Centenario still nurtures a unique take on the often-manic D
The last decade has not been kind to Milwaukee’s German restaurants, as names like Ritter’s Inn, the Bavarian Wurst Haus and even the venerable John Ernst have all closed their doors. In fact, only two of the old-timers remain: the oldest, Mad
If you’re not from Waukesha, you’ll want to check MapQuest for directions, but it’s worth the ride. The Rochester Deli (143 E. Broadway, 262-522-9611), wedged within the labyrinth of downtown Waukesha across from the Freeman offices, is
