GermanFest 2024
October 6 @ 12:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Planning for this Missoula tradition is in full swing! This year, we proudly celebrate 31 years of our Sister City connection, with the co-founders, the Fetz Family, still actively involved. Scroll down for the history.
We are excited to reintroduce GAMES this year! Thanks to our fantastic partnership with Toby Hansen Insurance, last year’s events like Fish Slapping, Log Sawing, and Stein Holding were a hit. This year, they plan to add even more games for kids!
Ozapft is! Bayern Brewing, a long-time staple of this event, is back with great German beer and the tapping of the keg. Stand back—you might get sprayed!
Enjoy music with ocTUBAfest and Accordion to Mike, dancing, and sing-alongs. Be sure to dress up in your finest Dirndl and Lederhosen!
MORE FOOD! Every year, we need more food! This year, we welcome The Patti Wagon, Worden’s Market, Big Dipper, Louie’s and Chur Ice Cream. Arts Missoula will provide Brats by Pattee Creek Market and authentic Potato Salad from the Missoula Culinary School. And don’t forget the pretzels! Bayern will serve delicious pretzels for your pleasure. We are also thrilled to announce Bamboo Bar’s participation, offering alternatives for those who prefer beverages other than beer.
