We can't believe Oktoberfest 2011 is over!
 
Thank You

to everyone who made our 38th Annual Lantana Oktoberfest a great success!

From the tireless efforts of a great team of over 400 volunteers who managed the gates, served food, beer and schnapps, to the local vendors, we thank you for your trust in the success for which the Lantana Oktoberfest was destined.

Each of you helped us preserve this exciting tradition at the American German Club Palm Beaches. This event would not have been possible without the support of many sponsors, including those who donated cash, materials, raffle prizes and other goods and services.

Special thanks go out to the Heldensteiner Band and Bayerisch Bluat Band from Germany for teaching all of us the "Fliegerlied" and for sharing their music with the audience. Getting the community singing and dancing to a variety of music, in particular the "Chicken Dance" and "Sweet Caroline" proved effortless for both bands.

Most of all, we thank the community and each and every one of the almost 30,000 who came out to celebrate two great weekends with good music, great food, and lots of laughter.

No matter if you have experienced it on your own and visited this year’s Oktoberfest or if you had to stay at home: The Club's Photo Gallery will bring the spirit of the Oktoberfest onto your screen.

For this year's Oktoberfest the American German Club of the Palm Beaches had the special support of:
 

Air Berlin
Becks Bier
Brown Distribution Company
Budweiser Beer
Pepsi America
Hofbräu Bier
F.L.A. Sound Systems

Danke Schön!
See you next year!
