Join us for a beloved family-friendly German festival, a long-standing tradition hosted by St. Joseph Shrine for many consecutive years. Celebrate German culture with authentic food, lively music, and fun for all ages! This year’s festivities will include guided tours of the historic church, kids’ games, and—for the first time—carnival rides especially designed for young children (ages 12 and under).

We’re excited to announce that the festival will take place on our newly acquired property at 1920 and 1940 Gratiot, right next to St. Joseph Shrine—offering even more space for community fun and celebration.
