Old World's Wurst Fest is exactly what it sounds like — nine days dedicated to the German sausage, in all its forms. Bratwurst on the grill. Weisswurst at breakfast. Currywurst with sweet curry ketchup over crisp pommes. Käsekrainer, Nürnberger, Bauernwurst, Knackwurst. A few exotic ones the chef won't name until you ask.

It's the year's first big party at Old World, and the village throws everything at it — live music, biergarten flowing, and the air smelling like grilled meat from the parking lot to the back patio.

Our boutique sits right at the entrance to the village — the first thing you see walking in, the last thing on your way out. Stop in before the bratwurst, after the beer, or whenever the line gets too long. Dirndls, lederhosen, hats, and steins are waiting.

Wurst Fest tickets, schedule, and live music details are at the village's official site. We're right at the entrance — stop in before you head into the festival, or on your way out.
