Every 1st and 3rd weekend of September, Wurstmarkt sees over 500,000 people celebrating 2 of Germany’s most popular exports – wine and wurst (sausage). This folk festival dates back to the 12th century, when farmers and wineries of Bad Dürkheim sold their produce for pilgrims heading up to Michaelskapelle (St. Michael’s Chapel). Today, it’s a fair-like event with hundreds of food stalls, carnival rides, fireworks displays, and wine halls. One of the best spots to celebrate Wurstmarkt is at Durkheimer Riesenfass, which is a gigantic wine barrel with an onsite restaurant.
