The German Festival Danced on into the night with Shcumklers along with antics from Schunkel Abend and music from Jimmy Horzen.

There was a variet of live music for all to enjoy all around First Street, Palmetto and South Park Avenue.

Clutching to their leiderhosen Orlando and Central Florida came out in record numbers to Alive After Five in Historic Downtown Sanford for an evening of authentic German entertainment, food and fun.

Folks Polka'd there way down the artist lined First Street to view the fantastic exhibits presented by more than 25 local artists.

First Street was closed in order to make way for Live German music, folk dancing and authentic German food samplings along the streets of historic downtown Sanford.

Of course the featured restaurant was downtown Sanford's own authentic German eatery, Hollerbach's Willow Tree Cafe. Sanford's favorite German restaurant also served samples right outside the Welcome Center. If you've never been to the Willow Tree Cafe on a Friday or Saturday night this was a fun way to experience real German entertainment in a big way!
