The celebration of renewed life and the promise of Spring, Maifest dates back thousands of years. We dance around the Maypole and do the Chicken Dance.

Goodbye grey skies, hello sunshine! The Frau Kemmling Schoolhaus Brewhaus is hosting the 4th annual celebration of Spring on the Bigham Knoll Campus. Come help roll out new Spring beers, enjoy bratwurst, sauerkraut, giant pretzels and good times!

“Maifest” is a German tradition which involves the entire family. Jacksonville’s early pioneers gathered friends, family, food and music together in Maifest celebrations.
