Alpine Thunder enjoyed participating for the third year in a row at the Christkindlmarket Aurora. The warming hut staging area always invites a warm and enthusiastic audience. The German American LLC organization also manages the the Chicago Downtown and Wrigleyville locations.
Alpine Thunder is proud in expanding their coverage beyond the Chicagoland area. In 2025, our 21st anniversary, we have expanded to nearby states for performances in Indiana, Wisconsin, and Iowa.
Alpine Thunder has been consistently performing over 80 performances during our Oktoberfest season. Prost Oktoberfest 2025!
We are proud in our continuation of Friday through Sunday evening performances at the Edelweiss Restaurant for 2025. The Edelweiss Restaurant ownership has committed to live music, specifically live German/Austrian/Swiss folk/pop music. Prost Edelweiss Restaurant!

We certainly did not think that we would be an active German Folk/Pop music group for 20 years in the Chicagoland area. It all started with a neighbor conversation, and next thing you know we successfully completed a number of performances in that same year. Thanks to all that made it possible! We are looking forward to many more performances to come. Prost!
Alpine Thunder will be performing every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday evening, at the Edelweiss Restaurant starting in January of 2024.
Friday 6-10PM
Saturday 6-10PM
Sunday 4-8PM
For the upcoming St. Patrick’s Day weekend Alpine Thunder Gabe will be saluting
