The traditional clothing we wear is called “Tracht” and comes from Bavaria in the region south of Munich Germany. The men wear black leather shorts called “Lederhosen”, while the women wear “Dirndl” dresses with white aprons. Both men and women wear green felt hats with white feathers, which makes you feel as though you just landed in the Alpine Mountains.
This year we are celebrating 100 years of traditional Bavarian costume “Tracht” in Washington, DC!
