Century Brass Decoration Day Reenactment at Waldmann Brewery 2026

The biergarten at Waldmann Brewery will be used to celebrate the Memorial Day weekend by reenacting scenes from its own history, including the American Civil War mustering in of its stonemason-builder, Jacob Amos, with the help of Minnesota 5th Volunteer Infantry reenactors accompanied by music of the era performed by Century Brass.
The 5th Minnesota Volunteer Infantry reenactors act out scenes from Amos’ mustering in, first drill, battle experiences and final mustering out. Century Brass will play music from the Civil War song books that inspired and comforted men like Amos—and their families back home. The event ends with a reading from the 1868 proclamation that established Decoration Day, now known as Memorial Day.
Following the concert, guests are invited to meet with the reenactors and explore the camp life of the soldiers bivouacked along Waldmann’s biergarten.
