Wurstfest is a two-day citywide celebration of the traditional art of German sausage making. There are professional and amateur sausage-making competitions, sausage samples and sales, sausage-making demonstrations and displays, and the crowd-pleasing wiener dog derby on Sunday. Most events take place at Stone Hill Winery and Hermannhof Winery.
Sample and purchase German sausages such as bratwurst, Braunschweiger, Knackwurst, Weisswurst, Liverwurst, Summer Sausage, German Bologna and many more flavors from sausage vendors from around the state.
