Thumbs up to Specail Events at Essen Haus!:
My favorite times at the Essen Haus are when they have free live music out door parties & festival type events. On Memorial day they had a Summer Palooza event with six bands. The food from the grill was between $1.50 for brats, burgers & BBQ pork & up to $14 for a full rack of ribs that were delicious! There was a fenced in kids area with free toys, games & candy. They give kids candy like they give adults beer! ha ha

the first Saturday in May they had a Mai fest (like Oktoberfest in spring) They had a Maypole with professional Morris dance troop instructing volunteers of all ages from 3-73 in the Maypole dances. That was really fun to watch. They serve bier outside in 1/2 liter plastic boots or steins you get to take home! The band that played Copper Box is one of my favorites. They make it to Madison a few times a year. Copper Box was here for the Essen Haus Mardi Gr as party also.

I give a big Thumbs up to Essen Haus special events!
