I don't like the fact that Cambridge is starting to celebrate OKtoberfest... it should be something K/W just celebrates.

I really don't see the problem. The number of guests now attending means that many are staying in Cambridge hotels; there may as well be events close to those visitors.

And for the record, Maryhill and Heidelberg have hosted festhallen for quite some time, and Elmira has one this year too. Should they be ruled out?

There aren't many Germans in Cambridge... I hope this still mainly stays a K/W tradition

Evidently you haven't driven through town and seen the Lutheran churches here. Preston and Hespeler started German, Hespeler in particular. According to the latest census results there are 14,000 people who claim to be of German extraction--about 11% of the population.
