Folks behind one of Dayton’s most beloved festivals now serving lunch TODAY

It is Germantastic!

You don’t have to wait until the dog days of summer to enjoy the tastes of one of Dayton’s favorite festivals.

Dayton Liederkranz-Turner, the German club behind Germanfest Picnic set for Aug. 10, 11 and 12 at RiverScape MetroPark, introduced a new Monday lunch a week ago.

Patricia Kister, a loyal member of the club located at 1400 E. Fifth St. in Dayton's St. Anne's Hill historic neighborhood, hipped us on to the lunch and even shared a few pics.

The lunch to be held 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Mondays—today included — is open to the public.

Carryout meals are available.

The menu includes brats, metts, schnitzel with gravy and a host of Germantastic sides like red cabbage, potato salad, noodles and of course sauerkraut.
