WILLKOMMEN!
Welcome to the online home of the San Diego German American Society! We celebrate German culture and its many colorful traditions through a variety of activities, year-round. Seasonal events are open to people of all ages, interests and abilities and include occasions like Maifest, Oktoberfest, Karneval and a Christmas Market!
We also host a German Theater Group, KinderTanzGruppe (children’s dance group), BoogieTanz Kabarett (all-ages dance group), Damenkreis (ladies circle), Skat Club afternoons (German card game), a Sunday work team and volunteer opportunities, German language classes and so much more – offering a home away from home to our many members, friends and the community at large. Watch a football (American soccer) game on the big screen, kick off your heels at a News Year’s Party or Anniversary Gala, or meet the Schützen (competitive shooting) crew on Friday evenings.
Come as a member or a guest – there’s truly something for everyone at our Club, and we hope to share some Gemütlichkeit with you.
