Guttenberg German Band concert set for Sept. 26
By Shelia Tomkins
This year would have marked the 30th anniversary of Guttenberg's GermanFest celebration. Due to concerns about the COVID-19 pandemic, the Guttenberg Chamber of Commerce in July announced that this year's event is cancelled.
The Guttenberg German Band, which has been the musical centerpiece of the celebration since it began in 1991, is offering a free outdoor concert on Saturday, Sept. 26, in lieu of the festival that was traditionally held the fourth weekend of the month. The event is being coordinated by the GermanFest committee.
The public is invited to gather near the band shell in Ingleside Park north of school for a two-hour concert starting at 2 p.m. Everyone is welcome. COVID-19 safety practices will be observed. Watch an upcoming issue of The Press for further details.
