About Germanfest

Always the Last Full Weekend of April

Willkommen (Welcome) to the annual Germanfest, sponsored by the Muenster Chamber of Commerce.
Muenster was founded in 1889 by people of German heritage and Catholic faith. This unique German community located in North Texas, of approximately 1,700, is a close-knit family in both kinship and kindred spirit.

This family, of common heritage and faith, throws one of the largest party in Texas, Germanfest, the last full weekend in April. This three-day festival attracts thousands to mouthwatering German sausage, scrumptious apple strudel, hearty cheeses and homemade bread, cakes and pies and so much more. So, come to Heritage Park Event Center in Muenster and let us be your host for food, fun and frolic. Be sure to bring a "guten apetit."

Plan to participate in one or more of our exciting activities. Events include a Sausage and Rib Championship Cook-Off, Nagelschlagen, Gelly Balls, Machanical Bull Riding, and other assorted competitions. There will be entertainment for the entire family, including puppets, dancers, carnival rides, while the family delight in dancing, music, arts and crafts, folk dancing, and two stages with non-stop entertainment.

Located on North U.S. Highway 82, 14 miles west of I-35, about 70 miles North of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, Muenster is waiting to welcome you to their community and entertain you at Germanfest.
