Argentina will be holding its annual Oktoberfest in Villa General Belgrano
from Fri, 02 Oct 2020 – Mon, 12 Oct 2020.
Officially, about 8% of Argentina’s population is German. Actually, that number includes people of German ancestry, though not necessarily of direct descent from Germany. For example: Volga Germans might be listed as Germans.
That number might not include Argentines of Swiss German or Austrian ancestry. So, the actual number of Germans in Argentine might be from 8-10% of the population. Of course, many are intermarried.
Villa General Belgrano, where the festival is held, has a very large German population.
Contrary to what people believe, most German-Argentines can trace their roots in Argentina back before World War II. Most were not Nazis, and had nothing to do with Nazis.

I include this to show you that I do not only write about Arabs in Latin America.
