German Park is famous for THE OKTOBERFEST in Indianapolis. All others are pale imitations of the German Park version, which of course is a pale imitation of the real one in Munich. The park was founded in 1934 by the Federation of German Societies of Indianapolis to be the home of these societies that had survived the culture war against German-Americans during the First World War of 1917-18. Dr. Jerde will lead us through the parks history.
