All roads lead to home. Sometimes that means your home town. I've lived in beautiful Oregon, Michigan, Illinois, Ohio and New York and visited many places in between. New Ulm, Minnesota holds my heart: I invite you to visit, experience our Willkommen and discover a town that is truly 'happy to greet you'!
New Ulm The City of Festivals
New Ulm The City of Beer
Okay, now I am making that beer part up. But not really! We do sport the second oldest family owned brewery in the country. The fifth generation August Schell Brewery. So with Festivals & Beer in mind: Prosit! But one sure doesn't need a festival to visit the Brewery or New Ulm! I try to give my guests a heads up on the tours: They sell out! And with the addition of Brian Yaeger's new book about beer in the USA and the people who make it, God love 'em, Schells is a standout! And one never knows when they might spot a Lakemaid !
Get ready for Bockfest! These are hysterical, no more freezing fingers. Okay, I can't guarantee that, but they are still a hoot!

Oktoberfests Around The World
While Oktoberfest in Munich remains the largest, oldest and original Oktoberfest, beer festivals do have a tradition in other parts of the world.
According to Wikipedia, the largest Oktoberfest outside of Germany is the Kitchener-Waterloo Oktoberfest in the twin cities of Kitchener and Waterloo, Ontario, Canada (700,000+ visitors).
Other cities claiming to be the largest Oktoberfests outside of Germany include Blumenau, Brazil (600,000+ visitors, 1,000,000+ in 1988 and 1992) and Cincinnati, Ohio, United States (500,000+ visitors). Since September 2007, even Montreal boasts its own Oktoberfest.
It would be great to have a collection of all Oktoberfests in one handy list, so I'll go ahead and start it. Everyone is welcome to add a link to other Oktoberfest homepages.

We just spent the weekend in New Ulm...what a wonderful weekend we had! It was extremely warm and welcoming, despite the frigid temps and blizzard conditions! Everyone we encountered was friendly and helpful, from our superb hostess at the Bohemian Inn to the drive-through girl at BK (how often can you say that?)! It's one of those towns that just makes you want to move there! We would definitely love to visit again...soon!
I was born in Neu Ulm and when I googled sister cities, found your town. I would love to retire there! If we ever visit MN, I'll know where to stay. Found you through your comment at Military Brats.
Hello world. My name is Bobbi. I have a business, a baby and another beautiful daughter. We all hang out at The Bohemian Bed and Breakfast bumping into other exotic creatures just like you.
