The Bavarian Tradition Show

Is there more to Bavaria than beer?

Well, no. But nevertheless, Vroni Holzmann and her Bavarian friends bring you, direct from Bavaria , the best of ancient Bavarian Traditions, from Pigsong to authentic cultural activities like getting up and sitting down again. There will, of course, be Bavarian songs and Yodelkunst (yodelling). There will be an introduction to the culture of beer drinking. Sometimes there will be Freibier. But there will be more than beer. For the unattached, there will be education in the traditional wooing methods of Fensterln (windowing). In this, boy climbs up to window, maiden rejects boy and boy leaves scene in flood of proper, ancient swear words as only a Bavarian could utter. He is, of course, undefeated, and moves on to the next fancy maiden's window.

There will be no Lederhosen. We prefer dirndl dresses and ample cleavages to leather shorts and thigh-slapping. Some stereotypes are better left at home when discussing Bavaria 's rich cultural heritage. [photo - Cameron Jack]

“Bavarian Traditions will get you on the edge of your seat!”

Resi would like to invite you to a special event:

Free Beer on the first night !

Free beer will be served at the first and last shows only. So this means free beer on 11 th August and 25 th August. Put these dates in you diary now. This may be a once (well, twice) in a life time occurrence in Scotland . Unlike in Bavaria where it is a beautiful custom frequently experienced by grateful beer lovers.

If you would like to find out more about Resi read Vroni's photo diary about a day and a night in the life of these Bavarian souls.
