June 14th & 15, 2024

Stay tuned for updates as we get closer to the festival!

Come join us for our annual Amana Colonies Wurst Festival; voted Best New Festival in Iowa. The German tradition of making sausages is alive and well in the Colonies at the Market Barn in the village of Amana. You’ll find local sausage vendors, beer, drinks, desserts, and sides. Judges will select the winners for the Best in Wurst and Weirdest Wurst, while YOU will select the people’s choice winner, be sure to try from all the booths and vote for your favorite. We will have fun yard games, live music and the Wurst University round out the event.
