Tomball's German Fest Rolls Out Local Festival Season

TOMBALL, TX — Willkomen, y'all. The spring festival season is here, and one of the first of the 2018 season starts Friday with the annual Tomball German Fest in dotwntown Tomball.

The three-day event, which is presented by the Tomball/Telgte Sister City organization, has been a local fixture since 2001 when the organization rolled out a single flatbed truck for a little Oompah music.

This year, there will be four stages and strolling bands of musicians bringing a bit of the German countryside to the northwest Houston community.

The music starts at 6p.m with the Alex Meixner Band taking to the Zeigenbock stage, and Auf Geht's Musik at the Telgte Dancehall.

The Chris Rybak Band will be firing things up on the Rybak party stage, and Blue Yonder kicks off their show at the Texas Heritage Stage.

There will also be carnival rides, plenty of food, beer, wine and lots of family fun events.

The event is free to everyone and you don't have to German to have a good time.
