Get ready for some squealing-good fun in this hilarious team competition! In Ferkel Wurst Stuffin’, three teams of two go head-to-head to see who can stuff the most "sausages" the fastest. One teammate is the official "sausage casing" holder, while the other is the one-handed runner/stuffer, racing to grab plush pigs and stuff them into knee-high hose to create the perfect wurst.

🏃‍♀️ The twist? The runner can only use one hand—the other must stay on top of their head at all times!

Three pigs make one sausage, and you’ve got 90 seconds to make as many as you can. The team with the most complete sausages wins! In case of a tie, brace yourself for a 30-second dead heat.

This high-energy, family-friendly game is as fun to watch as it is to play—don’t miss it!

The Wienerdog Nationals is FamilienFest's highlight event that brings together the swift, the small, and the spirited in a dash for glory. This delightful race features Dachshunds of all shapes and sizes, showcasing their surprising speed and unbeatable enthusiasm as they compete in a series of heats that culminate in a furiously fun final. Registration and more information here!

Ready, set, sip! In this bubbly twist on a classic three-legged race, teams of two will tie their legs together and race down and back—without spilling their root beer! Each team carries a stein or pitcher filled with root beer, and balance is just as important as speed.

⚠️ Spill your root beer? You’ve gotta go back to the starting line and try again!

We’ll wait for at least three teams to get started, so grab a buddy and bring your best teamwork game. Whether you're running or cheering from the sidelines, it's fizzy fun for all ages!
