Let the Festivals Begin
May 15-17
What better way to start off the summer festivals than with the second largest in the Tri-State area.
MainStrasse Village Maifest continues
a 30-year tradition this weekend as vendors and entertainers pack six
blocks of the Village with fun for the whole family. There will be German
and International cuisine, crafts from over 100 artisans, rides for
both youth and teens, plus live entertainment from 4th Day Echo, The
Rusty Griswolds, Denim Road and many more. Maifest is free so you can
afford to come one day or come all three, but make sure to at least
stop by and kick-off summer properly.
