A typical German-American celebration of spring is scheduled from 6-11 p.m. Saturday (31 March) in the Athenaeum/Das Deutsche Haus, 401 East Michigan Street, Indianapolis.
The St. Benno Fest ($15 at the door) is sponsored by Athenaeum Turners and Athenaeum Foundation, with proceeds to benefit Athenaeum Foundation. For more information and reservations, call 317:630-4569, ext. 1.
The Annual St. Benno Fest will bring again Munich's Patron Saint and Herr Bock to the Athenaeum. There will be food, fun, music, polka contest and grand march. The Athenaeum Pops orchestra, the Indianapolis Maennerchor and Dance Norden will entertain, dancing will be to Jay Fox and the Bavarian Showtime Band. Food a la carte by the Rathskeller Restaurant.
Legend has it that St. Benno was inspired with a recipe for a delicious Brown Nectar, known today as Bock, a dark beer made before Easter. This is the oldest Fest at the Athenaeum dating earlier than 1913 and celebrates St. Benno and his special spring brew!
