Lots of Germanic, Czech, Polish towns in Texas, with beer halls, town
bands, gazebos.  A good many folks still speak the old tongues.  Plenty of
them still hold town festivals, most in the fall of the year (so you are
mostly 10 months away).  Steer clear of New Braunfalls and Fredricksburg,
where the street food now runs to turkey legs and corn dogs, and the
sausages mostly are factory formed.  Head for the tiny burgs, like
Westphalia, Boerne, Hill Top, Montague, West, Greune.  Most of those have
at least one church dating from the mid-19th century, some of them the old
fashioned "painted" churches, with the interior lavishly and lovingly
decorated by hand.   In these places the Old World is still evident.  Take
your bus and go!
