Event Description
COME HAVE THE WURST TIME! Bring all of your friends and family to join us at the biggest sausage party in the Midwest on June 13th and 14th! We are bringing you two days of bratwurst-filled entertainment and activities! The Amana Colonies Wurst Festival kicks off on Friday, June 13th at 5pm in the Market Barn in the center of Amana. Grab a brat and beer while listening to tunes at this free kick off party. British-style brass bands will be rotating through town as they compete, and the Market Barn is one of their stops. Saturday, June 14th is the big shindig of Amana Colonies Wurst Festival beginning at 11am. Tickets are just $7 each, and kids 12 and under are free. Choose from a wide variety of food vendors located in the Market Barn, including Amana Meat Shop & Smokehouse, Amos Dean's, Charboom's Craft BBQ, Stoneridge Wholesale, Wild West Dogs, and more. Take a break from the sun under the shade of the beer tent and grab a drink to accompany your sausage! During the day, cast your vote to select the People's Choice of best sausage. Make sure to stop by Colonel Mustard’s booth for your mustard needs. Test your strength and join the Masskrugstemmen Competition at 1:30pm to see if you can hold a FULL beer stein for the longest amount of time. Live music from 8TRACK THERAPY from 11am-1:30pm, and All Natural from 2pm-5pm. The Iowa Brass bands will be at the Festhalle on Saturday for an additional $5 to see them perform! Price will decrease to $3 if you show proof of Amana Colonies Wurst Festival ticket. Perhaps the most exciting event of them all is the Raising Cane’s Dachshund Derby happening at 5pm outside of the Market Barn! Our favorite wiener dogs will compete in a running race with six categories for a chance to win a trophy, a Raising Cane’s gift bag, and a $20 Amana Colonies Gift Certificate. Be sure not to miss the competition between all the cute pups! Thank you to our platinum sponsor: Compass Memorial Healthcare!
