Alsace Dance Group in Fredericksburg - Oct 6

French Folk Dance Group to Perform in Fredericksburg, Texas

Residents of Fredericksburg will have a unique opportunity to enjoy a live dance and music presentation by the Sonnerose Folklore Dance Group from Jetterswiller in the Alsace region of France. They will be accompanied by the Veherle Blas Music Group from Hochfelden, France, with a total of 28 musicians and dancers participating in the show.

The show is free and open to the public at Fredericksburg Brewing Co.'s Biergarten, 245 E. Main Street. Show time is 6 pm.

The group is in the U.S. for 1 week to perform at Castroville’s “Heritage Day”, at the State Capitol, in Houston and other communities. Castroville is known as the Little Alsace of Texas and was settled beginning in 1844 by European immigrants from the Eastern region of Alsace, France. Their heritage has remained a true source of pride for the citizens of Castroville and also has grown into interchanges between the two regions.
