Is this the new ....umm...woke... version of things???

Ah yes, I remember it well;

Octoberfest in The Villages, Florida. - Bing video

I think "woke" just like "entitled" is being way overused around here. The more "generic" and "heritage inclusive" they make it the more people will come to enjoy it. I don't like Bratwurst, beer or watching old men prancing in lederhosen so I had no desire to attend but I do like many of the other good food selections from multiple heritages so I go for the variety. It is also easier and less costly and much less preparation for "the powers that be" to create 1 event rather than 3 (not even considering having to repeat it at multiple locations),
