Every year, they waddle onto that track and steal the whole show. 🌭

The Wienerdog Nationals is one of our favorite GermanFest traditions — pure joy, pure chaos, and a whole lot of very determined dogs. Thank you to everyone who brought their pups out to compete and to everyone who cheered them on.

See you on the track in 2027. 🐾

❤️ Danke, GermanFest Family! ❤️

To everyone who joined us at GermanFest and FamilienFest this year—thank you!

Whether you came for the food, music, dancing, Wiener Dog Nationals, shopping, culture, competitions, family activities, or simply to spend time with friends and family, we are grateful you chose to celebrate with us.

For four wonderful days, Headwaters Park was filled with laughter, traditions, new memories, old friends, and the spirit of Gemütlichkeit that makes GermanFest so special.

Thank you to our attendees, volunteers, sponsors, vendors, entertainers, clubs, community partners, and everyone who helped make this year's festival a success.

From all of us at GermanFest: Danke schön! We hope you had as much fun as we did.

❤️ Vielen Dank, Volunteers! ❤️

GermanFest simply would not happen without you.

From planning meetings months in advance to setting up, serving food and drinks, selling tickets, greeting guests, cleaning up, and everything in between—your countless hours of hard work, dedication, and generosity cannot truly be repaid.

Because of you, thousands of people are able to come together to celebrate German culture, traditions, food, music, and community. You are the heart of GermanFest and FamilienFest.

To every volunteer, committee member, club member, and supporter: thank you for sharing your time, talents, and energy with us. We are incredibly grateful for all that you do.

Danke schön. Prost auf euch! / Thank you so much. Cheers to you all!🍻

🥨🌟 GermanFest 2026 is a wrap — and we couldn't have done it without our incredible sponsors and supporters!

Every year, GermanFest and FamilienFest are made possible by the generosity of businesses and organizations who believe in Fort Wayne's German heritage and this community. This year was no exception. A huge Danke Schön to each and every one of you!

💛 Thank you to our 2026 Sponsors & Supporters!
Because of your support, thousands of attendees experienced four days of authentic German food, music, dancing, and Gemütlichkeit at Headwaters Park — and thousands of families enjoyed a completely free FamilienFest on Saturday.

If you or your business are interested in becoming a sponsor for a future GermanFest or FamilienFest, we'd love to have you! Visit GermanFest.org to learn more about partnership opportunities.

Prost — bis nächstes Jahr! 🍺 (Cheers — until next year!)
