Summer is slowly fading to autumn, but the COVID-related cancellations of large-scale events stand firm. Throughout Germany this year, there will be no massive wine festivals or other celebrations marking the harvest.
We’ve managed to round up a list of some smaller-scale events happening near U.S. bases. Keep an eye out for last-minute cancellations, and of course, follow the latest guidance from your command:
