Germanfest is much more than just music and food! We've brought together a variety of events and competitions to create an exciting, family-friendly community celebration. Whether you're passionate about German traditions and heritage or eager to watch thrilling competitions, there's something for everyone at Muenster Germanfest!
Live Music All Weekend Long:
Music is at the heart of the GermanFest tradition, with live performances filling multiple stages throughout the weekend. From authentic Bavarian music and regional favorites to high-energy rock, there’s something for everyone. Friday night turns up the volume with Back in Black, an AC/DC tribute, and The Four Horsemen, bringing the ultimate Metallica experience to GermanFest.
And that’s just the beginning... stay tuned for the full 2027 music lineup!
Tug of War:
The Tug of War takes place right in the middle of the event for all to see, surrounded by great food options, two Muenster Jaycee beer vans, and our Main Stage! Do you have what it takes to be Siegreich?
