At So You Think You Can Tanz, a number of mostly German clubs present their dance groups, which have a variety of costumes and styles from various regions of Central and Eastern Europe. In 2015 it was the 47th Year Celebrating Oktoberfest in Kitchener/Berlin. This is the largest Oktoberfest outside of Germany.

The Alpine Club is the host of So You Think You Can Tanz. It was founded by ethnic German refugees from Gottschee in Slovenia, formerly part of the Austrian Empire.

The settlement around Kitchener was founded by German Mennonite pioneers from Pennsylvania in 1803. The city was called Berlin up to WW1, when it was renamed due to prejudices at the time. There was a time when Toronto and the province of Ontario had German-speaking majorities.
