July brings Bavarian Blast to the Brown County Fairgrounds for a weekend-long celebration of our German heritage and culture. July 11-21, 2024, marks the festival’s 17th year, and it will again bring together crowd-pleasing, energetic nationally-known musicians, as well as our own “Ambassadors of Goodwill” – The Concord Singers. With a variety of other entertainers, there is a refreshing blend of entertainment for all.

Enjoy the festival under a huge tent and polka “hall” with comfortable seating on bleachers and tables and benches. Whet your appetite with a variety of delicious foods and then quench your thirst in the beer garden with one of New Ulm’s local brews – August Schell/Grain Belt beers and 1919 Root Beer.  A full bar is available and local wines are also served.

In addition to music and food under the festival tents, visitors will enjoy arts and crafts displays, souvenir sales, authentic German clothing and merchandise vendors, and the famous Bavarian Blast Parade on Sunday at 12:30pm. Saturday’s afternoon of family-friendly contests have become a huge hit with dog races, a beer stein-holding contest, barrel rolling, a sauerkraut-eating contest, and more.  Come early on Sunday for the unique experience of Sunday Morning Polka Service with Mollie B. at 10am!  Breakfast served by the Farm-City Hub Club will begin at 8am on Sunday.

Come early for the Pre-Fest on Thursday night! Come enjoy the craziness! Onsite camping is available, but book early, it fills up.
