What's happening in 2010!

The Lehigh Saengerbund, the German-American Society of the Lehigh Valley, will once again work with Mayfair Festival of the Arts and present Sommerfest in the Valley 2010.  Sommerfest at Mayfair will again have its own unique identity in its own area on the Western side of the festival grounds next to Ott Street..

This year's festival includes an expanded program including a wider variety of entertainers that should appeal to a wider audience. Our theme this year is "German by Day, Rock and Roll at Night". 

Returning traditional performers are  Josef Kroboth, Jolly Bavarians, Emil Shanta and Joe Weber.  Check out the WALN website for more information.  Be sure to attend the presentation of the Lehigh Saengerbund and Coplay Saengerbund choruses on Sunday afternoon.

New performers for the upcoming festival are No Heroes, Philadelphia Funk Authority, Flamin Dick & the Hotrods, Main Street Cruisers, and Crazy Heart.  From polka, doo-wop, rock & roll to line dancing this year's Sommerfest has a great deal to offer everyone. 

This year we feature something completely different.  The Dachsund Rescue of Bucks County will organize and conduct Sommerfest Wiener National Race Day open to all Dachsund owners.  DRBC will have a mega-booth at the festival.  There will be on site check in/registration, space available.  Pre-registration is highly recommended.  Check out the DRBC web site for more information.  (click here for early DRBC Registration)

In additon to our main festival tent Sommerfest will host a European Cafe where you can come with your family, spouse or friends and enjoy a unique European culinery exerience.  We'll have our famous Kaffee und Kuchen, desserts and other treats.  Oh yes, for beer connoisers Sommerfest is the only venue that offers the world famous Spaten Bier, and other German and foreign beers.  This year, once again, we'll feature Jaegermeister.  See you at Sommerfest in the Valley 2010.
