Even though Covid 19 hit the world in 2020, the last German-American Day LA was already celebrated in 2018. German Day LA 2017 and 2018 were both a huge success, but Alpine Village and the Los Angeles Turners decided ‘Let the German League do it in 2019’ and they decided to celebrate their ‘German-American Heritage Day’ on October 6, 2019.
There are no plans by the Alpine Village to celebrate Oktoberfest in 2021, so our Venue for the German Day LA is not ready at this time. Please feel free to watch our pictures and videos from previous German Days, which include Presentations by the famous German-American actor Eric Braeden, music performances, as well as an interview by LA Turners President Alexander Hast with the late Sigi Schmid, Coach of the LA Galaxy at the time. Quoting the LA Times; “Schmid was the winningest coach in MLS history with 266 regular and postseason victories over 18 seasons. He led the Galaxy to its first MLS Cup title in 2002 and guided the Columbus Crew to a league championship six years later. He also won three Supporters Shields, which goes to the team with the best regular-season record, captured five U.S. Open Cups and in 2000 he took the Galaxy to their only CONCACAF title.”
2019, the German League of Los Angeles (www.germanleague.us) celebrated their German-American Heritage Day at Alpine Village.
