The T.E.V. Edelweiss was founded in 1958, to preserve the customs and traditions
of Germany. The Klub provides a means for German immigrants and German-
Americans to share in those traditions and further friendships between the USA
and Germany. We uphold customs within our many activity groups: Karneval,
Schuhplattler, Schützengruppe, Volkstanzgruppe. We are a private social Klub.
Our beautiful Klub Haus, located in Morrison Colorado, hosts monthly special events
for all our members and their guests, including Oktoberfest and an annual Bier
Festival. The Schuhplattler and Volkstanz groups continue to perform and teach
traditional German dances and music. Each group meets once a week for practices.
The Karneval Group celebrates the German Pre-Lenten celebration (Fasching/
Mardi-Gras), which encourages people to let loose in a party-like atmosphere for
merriment and entertainment through masquerade, song, dance, joke telling
and other festivities. The Karneval opening is celebrated the first Saturday after
November 11th until Ash Wednesday.
The Schützengruppe normally meets once a month to practice their shooting skills
and compete for scores. A Schützenkönig (King) and a Schützenkönigin (Queen) are
crowned in November at the Schützenball.
All GACC Members are welcome to book private event space with TEV Edelweiss.
