Cost: Free

What to expect: Beer, traditional music and an authentic German flavor.

Why to go: Does the word "gemutlichkeit" mean anything to you? Ok, maybe not; essentially, it means "quality time spent in a cozy place". Anyway, any event that features a "Traditional Keg Tapping" is destined for success - and the fact that this is the fest's 10th year should make things all the more celebratory.

Additional Information: The official opening ceremony will be held Friday night at 8 p.m. with the crowning of the May queen and the tapping of the keg.
