On September 12 and 13, Beira-Mar Continental turns into a little Germany with a view of Floripa and free entry. It is the kind of festival where there is always something different to try, whether that is a new beer, a German dish you do not know how to pronounce or a traditional dance that needs a partner. This is your time to shine. Between a pretzel, a bratwurst and the next round, there is no shortage of conversation, and you do not even need to know much of the language. An invitation to raise a glass, Ein Prosit, and half the introduction is already done.
