OKTOBERFEST !

Beer, brats, bands and Lederhosen - the Helen Oktoberfest has them all. Join the longest running Oktoberfest in the United States, which runs this month through October 30.  Every year the Helen Festhalle houses the event.  German-style bands from around the country and around the world play on the stage.  Grab your partner and take a spin on the dance floor to the timeless tunes of the Polka. 

As part of the celebration of the 100th birthday of the renowned African American artist Jacob Lawrence and the reunification of his seminal 60 panel work, The Migration of the Negro, Step Afrika! brings to the Rialto Center stage its critically-acclaimed production, The Migration: Reflections on Jacob Lawrence through the medium of African-American stepping, South African Gumboot and traditional West African dance, vocals, drumming and audience participation. 

The high-energy performance brings to life Lawrence's iconic paintings, which focuses on the Great Migration from the South to the North in  the 1920s that radically changed the lives of African Americans.
