Being as popular as it is, there are Oktoberfest (famous Munich beer festival) events held worldwide now. But some US towns & cities with German ancestry hold these events as a direct nod to their roots (rather than as a tourist attraction, for example). There are one or two mentioned in this post, but there are several other US towns with Oktoberfest celebrations. You’ve also got the Von Steuben Parade held in honour of German American Day, which you can read about here! Names of towns & cities
If you’ve ever come across these US towns/cities and thought they sounded more German than American, then you’d be right. This is all down to their German ancestry. Frankenmuth, Michigan.
