Well, we're in the thick of it now. It's officially Fest season, and, I for one am psyched! This year is looking to be another great one full of plenty of Oktoberfest events to satisfy your craving for everything German! We've got the usuals on the calendar and couple new ones too. Don't worry, I am scouring every last corner of the internet to make sure that we have as many local and nearby events as possible. I also want to thank everyone who came out and celebrated ou

Well, it's that time of year again - FEST SEASON - is upon us. It is just over 1 (yes, that's right ONE) week until the best (OK, I might be biased) German Fest around. In case you missed it this will be the 121st time we've put this thing together. No, I have not been around to see them all! If you haven't gotten your advance sale tickets, there isn't much time left! Buying in advance saves you $$ too. So, what are you waiting for? We'll have some new food and drink o

Are you ready yet? If not, you've only got a month left. The 121st German Fest kicks off Friday, August 7th at 5PM at the Spencerport Firemen's Field. We've got lots of great stuff planned this year along with all the usual favorites. Keep your eyes peeled for special giveaways on our Facebook page. And don't forget to grab your discounted admission tickets here! If you're feeling antsy, and can't wait until August, don't worry. The great folks at The Spring Garden Asso

What a fabulous night it was for the BVA and SVH Spring dance. We were joined by some nearby sister clubs who honored us with some great performances. A big shout out to the Edelweiss Schuhplattlers of the Utica Männerchor, SGTV Edelweiss Buffalo, G.E.T.V Alpenrösl and the United German Hungarians who were each represented! If you missed it this year, make plans to join us next year. Next up the dancers will be at Faircraft Brauhaus on May 23rd in support of the Mary Cario

It's only April, but our clubs are already busy with events. Our dancers were in Buffalo at the famed Hofbräuhaus on March 28 for SGTV Edelweiss's Spring Dance, and it was rockin'! This past weekend they were in Canada 🍁 for GTEV Alpenrösl's Trachtenfest. Don't worry if you didn't cross the border for this one either. We'll have pictures of both up on the website soon, but don't rely on pictures next year!!!! Speaking of soon, both of our dance clubs are hosting their Sp

Wow! We know that our Karneval (aka Mardi Gras, aka Fasching) event is one of our most popular, but we sold out FAST this year. We're hoping to find a bigger space for the event to accommodate even more people next year. If you have any suggestions at places we could investigate, send an email to rochesterfgas@gmail.com We are so excited to celebrate with everyone on Saturday. We hope that you'll embrace the spirit of the event and come dressed in your best costume (remem

We've had a busy start to the new year already. First and foremost Karneval (aka Mardi Gras) is BACK baby! It will be on 2/28 at the Ukrainian Cultural Center in Webster for the second year in a row. Get your tickets now! This one usually sells out fast. See our event calendar for all the deets. We've also added a bunch of Stammtisch events for 2026 going right through June. Be sure to stop out to one, grab a drink and some food and say "HI!" We're always happy to me

A little late here, but we want to wish everyone a safe, happy, and healthy new year. 2025 was a great year for the FGAS clubs, and we hope 2026 is no exception. As we continue to move forward, we just want to take a moment to thank the community for their support. We are grateful to everyone who attended any of the various events throughout the year, anyone who donated in support of FGAS and those who were gracious enough to take time to volunteer at our events. We are l

Well, we successfully made it through Oktoberfest season, and boy was it a blast. I hope you were able to come out and see us at at least one of the many events where we were this year, and, hopefully, more than one. If you're still hankering for some good times with great people, don't worry. We still have some great events coming up. Be sure to check out the calendar for the latest updates including a very special anniversary celebration of 2 of our oldest clubs. With
