Comment

In the late 1960s, Waterloo Region tested a number of festivals, including the Heritage Festival, Winterfest and Oktoberfest. Each was evaluated to see which would prevail. Winterfest had problems with uncertain weather, and many other communities had a heritage festival, so Oktoberfest won out.
