Come join us for our annual Amana Colonies Wurst Festival! 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 a “Judge’s Choice” winner, while YOU will select the people’s choice winner “First in Wurst”. 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 to round out the event.
