==Community Life==
Jefferson City has a very active civic life, with various community events being held throughout the year. The downtown district (concentrated along East High Street between Jefferson and Monroe Streets) contains a number of thriving restaurants, bars, and specialty stores, and is the scene of music festivals during the summer and autumn, as well as the annual [[Christmas]] parade in December.<ref>https://www.downtownjeffersoncity.com/</ref> Nearby is the city's Missouri River Regional Library, which hosts periodic lecture series, family movie presentations, and [[Bible]] studies.<ref>https://www.mrrl.org/events/month</ref>
The city operates 18 separate parks with a total area of around 1,400 acres, with opportunities for camping, fishing, and skating. The state capitol and the former Missouri State Penitentiary are also open for tours during regular business hours.
Jefferson City has one sister city, Münchberg in Bavaria, [[Germany]]. The neighborhood southwest of the downtown district, where many German immigrants settled in the 19th century, is popularly known as "Old Munichberg," and hosts a small [[Oktoberfest]] festival, usually in late September.<ref>http://www.oldmunichburg.com/oktoberfest.html</ref>
