Seckenheim Strassenfest

Last Saturday night TJ and I went to our own town of Seckenheim's annual Strassenfest. At first we were skeptical of if it would be any fun as the Kerwe we went to last Fall was a joke, but we gave it a shot anyway. And we are glad we did because it was very fun and all the locals were out in full force. It took place in the older part of the village...about a ten minute walk for us. During the day it is like a flea market, or Flohmarkt as they say here, but at night it turns into a huge party with bands, beer, and great food. TJ and I rather enjoyed ourselves! There are two basic types of beer here...Pils and Weiss Bier, and I prefer Pils and T prefers the Weiss as shown.
Don't you love how even at a street fest they give you beer glasses that compliment each beer and not plastic cups? They German's take their beer and the environment very seriously! We headed down at about 6:30 in the evening and stayed until about midnight and it was still going strong. There was a ton of food...we had Flammkuchen, which is sort of like a flat bread pizza without sauce and different cheeses, but there was so much to choose from..like wurst and steak brotchen (steak sandwich).

The bands weren't that bad and gathered quite a crowd, although in other areas of the fest there were also DJ's with some mean euro-techno.

And the people watching is always good as many of the Germans have found themselves time warped back into the 80's...and not the good part either...

It was certainly fun and we will have to do it again next year!

Auf Wiedersehen!
