Friends of the Soldiers Home is proud to announce that The Edelweiss Band will be performing Bavarian dance and bier drinking music at the Oktoberfest Tent during Fall Fun Fest on Oct. 5, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. In addition, the Bavarian and Austrian Dance Company will be on hand to get everyone out of their seats and dancing at this wonderful event!
The Edelweiss Band began in 1969 when its founder and previous leader, Lothar Steschner, played Bavarian and Austrian waltzes and polkas at the Schnitzelbank Restaurant in Wheaton, Maryland. The band has since expanded and played numerous events at the German and French Embassies, Freedom Plaza and numerous other locations.
The Bavarian and Austrian Dance Company performs at events throughout the region. Notably, the troupe performed at the 2012 Oktoberfest at the Armed Forces Retirement Home to great audience enjoyment.
Fall Fun Fest runs from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 5 at the Armed Forces Retirement Home campus in Washington, D.C. The Oktoberfest Tent portion of the festivities will run from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. In addition to the fun under the tent, the day’s activities include a car show, golf tournaments, beer and bourbon tasting at Lincoln’s Cottage, a fishing rodeo at the ponds, military displays and much more!
