I have lived in New Braunfels since 2004, and since then, Wurstfest has become an increasingly important family ritual. It’s not an official Wurstfest event, but it gives locals something to do in lieu of Wurstfest. The New Braunfels Jaycees will still sell a 2020 collectible pin to attach onto green felt hats. There are high hopes that by November 2021, Wurstfest will be back, vaccinated and better than ever. There is no Wurstfest, but it’s not the wurst thing to happen in 2020.
