The Arizona Center for Germanic Cultures (AC4GC) was founded in January 2005 with an executive board of 4 members and 16 board members and 2 advisors. Its mission is to develop a center in Arizona where people can meet, learn about, and enjoy Germanic culture through hosting events like Oktoberfest, Springfest, Christkindlmarkt, and Movie Night, as well as through its membership programs, calendar, blog, and newsletter.
