OKTOBERFEST 2008 in Historic Downtown McKinney
McKinney meets Bavaria on September 27, 2008! We will mark a new milestone in a long line of successful events showcasing the versatility of Historic Downtown McKinney, as we present OKTOBERFEST 2008. Drawing on the colorful tradition that began in Munich, Germany in 1810, the McKinney Oktoberfest will represent many things to many people. We will celebrate our diversity with a cultural event that reflects the many contributions of German immigrants who settled in Texas. We will enjoy a fun, family-friendly event that will offer authentic German music, food & drink, traditional costumes, dancing, children's activities, and much more. Germans have a special word "Gematlichkeit" suggesting a warm atmosphere of open and generous hospitality. That's how we will welcome residents and friends of McKinney, as well as thousands of guests from our sister cities including many who have not yet come to know the great things to be offered by our dynamic community. As they wander our 160-year-old downtown streets enjoying the attractions during the fest, they will experience our diverse array of vibrant specialty shops and restaurants for them to experience on return visits throughout the year. On behalf of McKinney Main Street, thank you for your support. We look forward to showcasing our wonderful town square by taking on a new dimension with OKTOBERFEST.
