Join us for German and Ecuadorian food and culture on November 17th in Saskatoon.

Space is limited, please register at the SGC office.

Traditions & Food

Celebrate Traditions - St. Martin Day


St. Martin celebrations are very common in some parts of Germany and Austria. On the night of November 11th, children walk in processions carrying lanterns, which they made in school, and sing St. Martin songs. Events include music, bonfires, and often cookies in the shape of geese.

Not only is this holiday steeped in tradition and rich culture, but it also provides a fun opportunity for kids to get creative and craft their very own lanterns. In our video, we'll take you through a step-by-step tutorial on how to make your own lantern. So grab your scissors, glue, and let's get ready to light up the night!


To learn how to make a lantern check out our YouTube video.

Potato Soup with European Wieners - Kartoffelsuppe


Are you ready to warm up with a delicious bowl of soup? Our German Potato Soup with European Wieners recipe is here! Don't miss out on this mouthwatering dish - it's perfect for a cozy night in or a quick and easy meal.


So what are you waiting for?
