RB German students and band members were on display at the annual Von Steueben Day parade.

It’s almost Fall, and that means it’s time to dust off those Lederhosen and Dirndls! Oktoberfest is around the corner, but first, take a look at this photo essay which showcases another German-American holiday: Von Steuben Day. The holiday and parade celebrate General Baron Friedrich von Steuben, who helped the colonists win the Revolutionary War.
