Detail: OKTOBERFEST 2009-Saturday, September 26, 2009-10 a.m. -  
11 p.m.-Historic Downtown McKinney - McKinney meets Bavaria on  
September 26, 2009!  Drawing on the colorful tradition that began in  
Munich, Germany in 1810, the McKinney Oktoberfest will represent  
many things to many people.  We will celebrate our diversity with a  
cultural event that reflects the many contributions of German  
immigrants who settled in Texas.  We will enjoy a fun, family-
friendly event that will offer authentic German music, food & drink,  
traditional costumes, dancing, children's activities, and much more.  
- Germans have a special word - Gemütlichkeit - suggesting a warm  
atmosphere of open and generous hospitality.  That's how we will  
welcome residents and friends of McKinney, as well as thousands of  
guests from our sister cities including many who have not yet come  
to know the great things to be offered by our dynamic community.  As  
they wander our over 161-year-old downtown streets enjoying the  
attractions during the fest, they will experience our diverse array  
of vibrant specialty shops and restaurants for them to experience on  
return visits throughout the year. - For more information please
