4 Reasons to Plan Texas Vacations during Wurstfest


Planning your Texas vacations during fall means you’ll be able to enjoy Wurstfest, one of the best events in New Braunfels, Texas. While many New Braunfels events happen around New Braunfels Leasing and Resorts, Wurstfest draws in approximately 100,000 visitors each year. The 10-day festival offers authentic German fare and beer, Texas craft brews, traditional Bavarian games, fun rides, Bavarian-style music and dancing, and many other activities celebrating the German heritage. Here are the top 4 reasons you’ll want to take your Texas vacations during Wurstfest—Prost!   

1. The Food
While on your Texas vacations at Wurstfest, we suggest sharing food as there are many different styles of delicious German cuisine. You'll find everything including giant Bavarian pretzels, pork schnitzel, wurst tacos, sauerkraut, strudel, potato pancakes with sausage, and so much more! The festival was initially named the "Salute to Sausage." Wurst is the German word for sausage, so "Wurstfest" literally means sausage festival, which means trying a variety of sausage is a must!

2. The Entertainment
Will you hold my beer? In fact, why don't you hold your own stein full of beer as long as you can during the Masskrugstemmen competition? The famous Bavarian traditional endurance and strength contest where each participant holds a stein of beer straight out parallel to the ground for as long as they possibly can. While this is a favorite event to watch (or participate in), there are many other fun things to do in New Braunfels at Wurstfest!

There's no shortage of music and dancing on your Texas Vacations as there are five venue spots at Landa Park on the Wurstfest Grounds. Enjoy polka, dancing in lederhosen, accordion music, yodeling, oompah, and many other varieties of musical entertainment!

The authentic German-style brews and Texas artisan crafts will keep you dancing in your lederhosen all day long! Domestic beer is $25 for a pitcher and $6 per cup, while Import is $32 per pitcher and $8 per cup. You can also purchase a 1-liter souvenir stein, $20 for domestic, and $24 for Import.
