Expect the best, but prepare for the wurst! Wurstfest is an annual food celebration that honors German culture, especially its love for sausages, or "wurst". Attendees are treated to a vast selection of sausages from classic bratwurst to more exotic varieties, all accompanied by hearty servings of sauerkraut, pretzels, and strudels! You’ll enjoy the largest array of bratwursts and German foods in Berks County! If you’re not a fan of German food, don’t worry. We will have something for everyone! Music will be provided 6-9 by our favorite polka party band, Bavarski! This is a family friendly event and will be held rain or shine. Tickets available at the gate.
