Tradition & the 2023 Kirchweihfest, by Michael Fricker

Entertainment Review: On Sunday, November 26, we gathered at the Phoenix Sport Club, members, friends, the Cultural Group, four generations of German-Hungarians. And the Kirchweihfest is our most visible and real example of tradition in action. The fact that it is the most beautiful makes it what I like to all the most beautiful important day of our club calendar.

Many great people have made the German Hungarians richer by playing the musical part.
