In the spirit of the German tradition that has existed since the October 12, 1810 marriage of Crown Prince Ludwig and Princess Theresa of Bavaria, the Lafayette College German Club celebrates Oktoberfest during the fall semester. In the past few years this celebration has taken place either at the McKelvy House, or at a professor’s house. German Club members and Friends of German celebrate by enjoying German food and drinks, speaking German and experiencing an important piece of German culture.
