Autumn is always a vibrant season for the German community, filled with longstanding traditions and cherished celebrations. This year is no exception. On October 3, Germany marked the 35th anniversary of reunification, a pivotal moment in the nation's history that marks the coming together of East and West Germany into a unified country. This season also brings the spirited festivities of Oktoberfest, celebrated not only in Munich, — home of the world's largest Oktoberfest, — but by German communities across the globe.
