Germanfest is a free Montana German festival held each fall in Missoula. This year, Germanfest will be held Sunday, September 3, 2017, in Caras Park.

Germanfest is a celebration of German culture and Missoula's Sister City relationship with Neckargemnd, Germany. It is the premiere Montana German festival in the state. Highlights include traditional food, music and beer.

Special Musical Guest: S-BAHN!
S-Bahn brings traditional German music with a modern twist. With a diverse and eclectic repertoire, the S-Bahn specializes in Oktoberfests (German) and Malankas (Ukranian). Missoula is pleased to welcome this exciting new addition to Germanfest, sponsored by Bayern Brewery of Missoula.

German Food & Beer
Germanfest officially gets underway when the traditional keg of beer is tapped by Jurgen Knoeller, owner of Missoula's Bayern Brewery. Plenty of bratwurst, pretzels, and traditional German pastries will be available at this Montana German festival.

German Steins
Make the most of this year's Germanfest and never forget your Montana German festival experience by purchasing a commemorative stein. Steins will be available on our website closer to the event. The purchase of a stein entitles you to one free beer during Germanfest. PROST!
