Welcome to Wauktoberfest
Listed One Of The Best Festival and Fairs in WI by Travelmag!
“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.”
