Notes
The Liberty Home Association can possibly trace its origins to an organization known as the Allgemeiner Deutscher Unterstützungs Verein, or the Universal German Assistance Club. In 1903, the German Federation of Hamilton was formed, consisting of seven German-American organizations, representing more than 900 members. The purpose of the Federation was to unite all Germans and to protect their interests in their adopted country. The Liberty Home Association still retains many of its German related, folksy events, where both young and old members can enjoy their culture. The Liberty Home Association has given much to Hamilton County and Butler County and still strives to retain, use and preserve German – the real binding force of its existence. We welcome all people from the surrounding area to visit our club, particularly at events specifically hosted as such, the most popular being the Oktoberfest, always the weekend of Labor Day.

Founded in 1873, the Cincinnati May Festival is the oldest, and one of the most prestigious choral festivals in the Western Hemisphere. The Festival drew upon the choral traditions of the many Cincinnati residents who were of English and German descent, whose countries were prolific in the formation of singing societies. Every May, the May Festival presents works that represent the pinnacle of choral literature from the 16th to 21st centuries, performed by vast choral and orchestral forces and an international roster of guest soloists. It is the pride of Cincinnati, one of the few cities in the world today with an on-going commitment to choral music. For two weekends in May, the world turns to Cincinnati for an unsurpassed experience in choral music performance.
