On behalf of the Vereine of the West Bezirksfest and the 2016 host Verein, the STV Alpentänzer Schuhplattler, I invite all Gauverband Member Vereine, their friends and supporters, and members of the German-American community to attend the 3rd annual West Bezirksfest in historic Sacramento, California on March 11th & 12th, 2016. The 2016 West Bezirksfest will be another opportunity for all of us to share our cultural heritage, build relationships between the Vereine, and enjoy a great time together. The weekend of festivities will include a Preisplattln competition, various workshops, youth activities, live music, dancing, and a formal dinner on Saturday night. Food and beverages will be available throughout the event. We welcome all Vereine from coast to coast and overseas, our friends and supporters in the Sacramento Turn Verein, and the larger German-American community to join us in this celebration. Youth are especially welcome to attend and participate throughout the weekend.
