“Another of Wisconsin’s Germanic-inspired festivals, Wauktoberfest comes to the village of Waunakee each year, never failing to deliver a whole host of amusement. There’s authentic, top notch German food, live music, and several quirky German-themed competitions including Sauerkraut eating, the Dachshund Dash, and the Frau Carry. Despite the presence of Teutonic booze, kids are at the heart of the action too, with inflatables, pumpkin decorating, a vendor fair, and more for them to enjoy.”
NEW this year… A wood DANCE FLOOR to POLKA!
TVs will be on the fest grounds for Waunakee Football, Badger & Packer Game viewing!
Indulge in a tasting experience featuring delicious pairings of wines with bites from local restaurants. $65/ticket.
