After a hiatus in 2020 due to the coronavirus, your favorite festival celebrating German culture and food is back.
This is the 60th annual Wurstfest celebration and the first year Wurstfest will take place after a devastating fire in 2019 that destroyed the iconic Marktplatz building which has since been rebuilt.
The adjacent Wursthalle building sustained smoke and heat damage but was still considered structurally sound following the fire.
