MILWAUKEE — It’s that time of year again to say "Guten Tag German Fest."
"For me it's probably on and off probably about on and off 20 years,” Joan Weyer from Richfield said.
Weyer said the weekend long festival is a family tradition that started with her parents.
TMJ4’s Megan Lee asked Weyer her favorite part of German Fest. She replied, “I think just the comradery and the music. It's got that nice bounce to it."
A bounce that even the little ones enjoy.
"It's so fun especially as he gets older, he's so into music and so this is a fun year for everybody to have with him,” Haley Miller said.
Miller and is talking about her son Arlo. They love to celebrate their German roots with their entire family.
"We come every year with my family. So, we come up with some little outfits. This is his second year, so we had to put him in something special,” Miller explained.
If you don't have any lederhosen at home like Arlo, you can come to German Fest to buy one for yourself or you can just grab your leather jacket and head to the Harley Davidson homecoming.
"Everyone’s got the same passion here so it’s cool. Everyone loves Harleys and everyone loves the same types of music,” Ryan Schulz, said.
Schulz traveled from Joliet, Illinois with family for his first Harley Fest. He was looking forward to seeing Jelly Roll and Hardy perform Friday night.
