Alongside all your GermanFest favorites—brats, schnitzel, potato salad, kuchen, and more—we’re excited to welcome back and introduce some incredible food vendors around the festival grounds in Headwaters East.

🍻🇩🇪 The Celebration Starts Before GermanFest! 🇩🇪🍻

Before Fort Wayne GermanFest officially begins, each of the festival’s partnering German clubs and cultural organizations hosts a special pre-festival event to help welcome the community, share traditions, and get everyone geared up for the big weekend ahead.

These events are a wonderful way to experience the heart behind GermanFest while getting to know the organizations that help make the festival possible each year.
