Steinbach welcomes all of Southeastern Manitoba to join the fun of the 6th Annual Summer in the City Festival in Steinbach, June 20-22, 2014. GCC will have a booth where we will sell German Bratwurst. Please come and visit us. 

We hosted the first ever Summer in the City Festival in June 2009 – the HUGE highlight was Tom Cochrane closing the show on Saturday night. In 2010 we added the midway, a Friday country night in partnership with the Steinbach Fire Association and fireworks to wrap up the concert on Saturday!

This year, expect dozens of food vendors, artists and crafters to line Main Street. There will be multicultural performers and food, entertainment for the children including the Wonder Shows midway and of course, THOUSANDS of your closest friends – and some you haven’t met.

Please join us for another German Breakfast with German Buns and Cold Cuts. Please bring $5 to cover our cost.
