German-American Friendship Month
September is host to many German and German-American cultural events aside from the parade. They range from a reading with German comedian Hape Kerkeling, concerts in Carnegie Hall to Jazz performances by German musicians, from a pop-art event with Berlin and New York based artist Jim Avignon to a German cartoon exhibition. There are also events celebrating the historic aspect of German-American traditions, like a walking tour through Little Germany Kleindeutschland on New York's Lower East Side or a tour through the Tenement Museum there.
