Wurstfest in Hermann: A Weekend of Sausage, Smiles & Small-Town Charm

Sausages

Get ready for one of Hermann’s most beloved traditions—Wurstfest, happening March 27, 28 & 29 in beautiful Hermann, Missouri. This annual celebration brings together food lovers, families, and sausage enthusiasts for a weekend packed with flavor, friendly competition, and plenty of German flair.

A True Celebration of the Wurst

Professional meat processors from across Missouri gather to showcase their finest creations, offering samples and products for sale throughout the weekend. With vendors stationed at multiple locations, you’ll have plenty of chances to taste, compare, and take home your favorites.

Wurstfest highlights include:

  • Professional & amateur sausage-making competitions
  • A hands-on kraut-making class
  • The festive Braunschweiger Ball
  • Traditional German music and dancing
  • Weiner Dog Derby, Sunday, Clara Eitmann-Messmer Amphitheater

And of course, the always-adorable Wiener Dog Derby on Sunday—complete with a costume contest and talent show. It’s a crowd favorite that might just make Hermann the Wiener Dog Capital of the World!

No Wurstfest weekend is complete without stopping by Hermann Wurst Haus for the ultimate “Wurst” meal.

  • Two award-winning bratwursts
