Sun City Grand residents, family, guests and the City of Surprise celebrated Oktoberfest in a "Grand" style yesterday! Each year residents celebrate the end of the hot summer while welcoming back the winter visitors. The weather was perfect, and the event was highly successful!
Sun City Grand Dancers performed with various dancing with residents participating in line dancing, West Coast Swing, Square Dancing, Arizona Two-Step and Waltzes.
Artisans sold their works. The show favorites appeared to be woodworking and jewelry.
Each club had a booth, displaying their club information and selling their club projects. Even the Grand Democrats and the Grand Republicans had booths. The four golf courses had drawings and there were merchandise discounts for visiting the respective booths.
Food booths were strategically located. Baked goods were sold in the Palm Center. Everything looked delicious!
I would safely guess at least 5,000 people were at the event. 
I arrived late and missed the Zumba demonstration. Zumba is the most popular fitness aerobics dance craze in Sun City Grand. This YouTube Video portays the fun and excitement that Zumba dancers and onlookers experience.
If you missed Oktoberfest this year, mark it on your calendar for next. It's truly a "Grand" time!

Leolinda, we have one of the largest Oktoberfest celebrations outside of Germany, right here, in Ontario (Kitchener), and it's usually held this week (October 9 to 17, I think). It's been a few years since I went, but I tell you ... there's nothing more fun than an Oktoberfest celebration. The food is amazing; the music, the people ... it's a very friendly 'party', where everyone is welcome.
I may just have to attend this year. Thanks for the reminder. :)
