No really good bands playing German music afterwards. Even the stiltwalkers seemed to disappear right after the parade.

It was nice to be able to buy snitzel, wurst, and pretzels from the vendors but a wider selection of German specialties would improve the experience.

How do we get the Gemutlikeit back?
How do you get the Gemutlichkeit back? You go to Germany!
