In Germany, Frühling (spring) is a time to be celebrated. As the flowers begin to bloom, we will be celebrating the start of spring with a family-friendly event that combines a German-style festival and many things we love such as art, music, street performers, and food. We will close multiple streets in the downtown area to accommodate the festival and allow for the most possible space for Frühlingsfest activities.

This is a free event and we hope everyone can come enjoy a bit of Germany in Frühling! Street parking will be available around the festival area. View the festival map attached.

ADDRESS: 4 Pine Street, Avondale Estates, GA 30002

STUDENT ART COMPETITION
Leading up to the festival, we would like to highlight middle and high school students’ talents by displaying their Kunst (art) in our auditorium. The theme for the competition is “Frühling in Europa (Spring in Europe).” We are particularly interested in artwork that reflects springtime in Deutschland (Germany), Österreich (Austria), or der Schweiz (Switzerland). We will select between 20-30 pieces to be displayed for the month of März (March).
