Tips & Advice
- Leave your dog at home, because pets aren't allowed anywhere on the GACSRI grounds and only service animals can come in.
- Head into the Ratskeller for goulash and the cake table, then step outside to the Biergarten for bratwurst, pretzels, Liege waffles and grilled meats.
- Dress for some time outdoors, since much of the food plus the beer and German spirits are served outside in the Biergarten.
- Grab coffee or hot chocolate at the cake table in the Ratskeller if you'd like something warm that isn't Glühwein.
- You don't need to be a GACS member to come, because the market is open to the public.
