A day where families all around could come, enjoy music, food, drink, and activities all while celebrating the German Heritage from where the town descends. A day of fun where one can find themselves performing the chicken dance, tossing a naked chicken, watching the Dachshunds race, or simply, enjoying meeting up with an old friend. Where you will hear sounds of brats sizzling, ribeyes flaming up, that deep frier heating the oil…. Tssss… Then comes the aroma - not just from the grill, but of fresh baked pretzels, roasted almonds… oh my, are the senses tickled!
Finally comes the tough choice. Is it pig wings? Or maybe a Reuben? A Fester? Options seem to be endless here at Freudenfest, but one thing is for certain - you will find the Sauerkraut! Our 'Locally World Famous' Sauerkraut balls are hand rolled by volunteers months in advance, hundreds of dozens are cooked, rolled, then immediately frozen - ready for the festival.
Order your dozen at the festival, those taste buds will be dancing for joy! Interested in a full plated meal, all made from scratch We got you!
That's right, come stroll the street of Freudenfest and grab some authentic German street grub! It's a warm summer July day, the band is shredding on the accordian, and you are looking for a ice cold refreshment. How about an ice cold premium root beer poured straight from the keg?
That will get you refreshed for the dance floor! Some come all the way from Germany, some from a nearby city and some are brewed right here in the Village of Spires Not into the German Styles? We do offer a other styles on tap - check out our tap list!
