What Is Wurstfest?
Wurstfest is one of Texas' most beloved annual fall festivals, drawing hundreds of thousands of visitors to New Braunfels every year. Held over 10 days in late October and early November at Landa Park on the banks of the Comal River, Wurstfest celebrates the region's deep German heritage with authentic food, cold beer, live music, carnival rides, and non-stop entertainment for all ages.
Dating back to 1961, this beloved Hill Country tradition features toe-tapping polka bands, folk dancers in traditional attire, and vendors serving up bratwurst, schnitzel, pretzels, potato pancakes, and strudel — all washed down with a cold stein of German beer. Whether you're raising a glass on the dance floor or watching the kids spin on the carnival rides, Wurstfest is the kind of Texas family experience that keeps people coming back year after year.
Wurstfest typically runs from late October through the first weekend of November. This year? November 6-15. Check the official Wurstfest schedule at wurstfest.com for this year's exact hours, and entertainment lineup before you book your stay.

Wear Comfortable Shoes

Dress the Part (Optional, But Fun)
Lederhosen and dirndls are not required — but they add to the festive spirit in a big way. Many families make a tradition of dressing in German attire. It's a great photo opportunity!
