German Texan Beer and Wine Festival & German Auto Show

Come join the German-Texan Heritage Society (GTHS) as we celebrate the 30th Annual Maifest — and this year, we’re making it bigger than ever!

This year, the German Auto Show and the German Beer & Wine Festival — our 30-year celebration of Maifest — will be held on the same day!

That means one ticket gives you access to an unforgettable day of German culture, engineering, music, beer, wine, and family fun.

Often called “the little sister of Oktoberfest,” Maifest celebrates the arrival of spring with the same warm, welcoming atmosphere — but with its own seasonal traditions and flavors.

Raise a glass, bring your friends, and help us celebrate 30 years of Maifest.

Prost to springtime! 🍻
