Wurst Festival

Come join us for our annual Wurst Festival in Amana! The German tradition of making sausages is alive and well in the Colonies and we want to share some of the best with you. Wurst Festival was Voted Best New Festival in Iowa, so you don’t want to miss it out on this celebration of everything sausage!

At the Market Barn area, in the center of the village of Amana, you will find local sausage vendors, beer, drinks, desserts, and sides. Wurst Festival features different types of brats, sausage creations, and more things meat! There is even a veggie brat option that will help you convince that vegetarian friend of yours to join in the fun. Try from all the booths and make your pick! Not only will there be classic brats, there will also be some creative and innovative twists on the beloved brats that will make your mouth water.

During the day, the sausage makers compete for a few coveted awards. Judges will select the winners for the Best in Wurst and Weirdest Wurst, while YOU will select the people’s choice winner, so make sure and try as many as you can before you cast your vote.

Man cannot live on sausage alone so take a break from the summer heat under our beverage tent. We will have beer, Amana wine, and other beverages for everyone. Live music will be here from all day at the Market Barn!

You’ll also find the Wurst University here again to give you the Wurst education possible.
