Organizers are busy setting up all the schnitzels, strudels, pretzels, and beer.

“People can expect an authentic Bavarian festival, right here in Tulsa,” said Lacey Taylor.  “The can expect authentic food, everything from brats to schnitzel, a variety of musicians and bands – we actually have bands in from Germany.”

Tonja Carrigg with Tulsa River Parks stopped by 6 In The Morning Wednesday to talk about what's new this year.

One new feature of this year’s festival is the Bavarian Cup, which includes events like a barrel race and tug o’ war.  You can still sign up for the competitions.
