Wurstmarkt

Of all the cancellations we’ve endured thus far, the absence of the Dürkheimer Wurstmarkt is a particularly bitter pill to swallow. But the world’s biggest wine fest, a highlight on many a KMC resident’s annual agenda, would be a highly transmissible virus’s delight.
Congratulations! You’ve survived your move to Europe! The vast ocean of cardboard and packing paper has finally ebbed and you’re ready to start exploring your new home. It’s an understatement to say there’s a lot to see and do.
My favorite annual event, the Dürkheimer Wurstmarkt, opening Sept. 6.

What comes to mind when you find out you’re headed to Germany? Why, beer and wine, of course! September and October in Germany brim with wine and beer festivals, from small affairs to mega-events.
Not everyone loves beer and for wine lovers, there is the Dürkheimer Wurstmarkt in Bad Dürkheim. If you speak even the slightest bit of German, you’re probably thinking ‘wine’ is a typo and really I meant sausage.
