Festivals and Festoons

With its rich German history it is no surprise that the citizens of New Braunfels like to have a good time. Any time of year there is plenty of celebrating going on in local bier gardens, hill country taverns, and music halls.

Gruene Market Days are held on the third full weekend of each month with almost 100 artisans from almost every discipline, including ceramics, wood working, jewelry, clothing, and more. The festival-like atmosphere attracts street performers, face painters, musicians, and of course, lots of wonderful food vendors. Gruene Market Days exclusive appeal is that all products sold are made by the local vendors themselves.

“Wurstfest” is the town’s “Ten Day Salute to Sausage” During the 10-day festival, you’ll find a variety of entertainment, food and fun on the Wurstfest Grounds in Landa Park and many special events throughout New Braunfels and Comal County and naturally, the food is again the star!
