Sure, each of the summer's ethnic festivals has something unique to offer. Therefore, when the Maier Festival Grounds are turned into an early Oktoberfest this weekend, you'll want to be on hand to taste the spanferkel, bratwurst and sauerkraut, and to hear the Germanic sounds of Edith Prock , Grasberger Buam , Musikkapelle Handenberg and others. Of course, there are the standard summer festival fireworks each night, Friday through Sunday. Sunday afternoon for live Near Eastern music and tasty shish-kebobs. Among the performers are Volt Haus, One Way, Red Dawn and Stain .
Parents can count on a full security staff and adult supervision.
Tickets can be had by calling 276-4545. The group may become regulars in Milwaukee, with a residency at Cecelia's and a gig at Irish Fest to come.
