The Austin Saengerrunde began as a group of German transplants dedicated to preserving the melodies of their home country in 1879. The German singing group eventually branched out to become an organization that embraced and preserved every facet of German culture, not just music. They even installed a bowling alley in their meeting place, which still exists and now boasts six contemporary lanes. The bowling alley and adjoining event hall will host the Austin Saengerrunde's Texanische Nacht on Saturday, July 21st.
This night-long celebration showcases German heritage and Texas tradition all at once. The Cornell Hurd Band kicks off the evening at 7 p.m. with their signature Western swing, country, and rock music. Dance to the music and bowl a few rounds in the Saengerrunde's alley along the way while you enjoy some complimentary beverages. Tickets are $25.
