On February 9th and 10th, 2018 from 10am to 10pm, the small town of Mt. Angel holds a big celebration to mark the last blast of winter in a salute to German sausage – the 10th Annual Wurstfest. Much like a mini-Oktoberfest at the Mt. Angel Festhalle, there is non-stop music, world famous German and local Seven Brides beers, specially selected German and local wines, arts and crafts and specialty food, a kindergarten area plus lots and lots and lots of sausage. There’s a senior day on Friday and on Saturday, the “Wurst” 5/10k runs plus dancers galore.
