MAIFEST
Third weekend of May | May 20-22, 2022
What’s not to love about a small-town celebration of German heritage? Maifest is an old-fashioned festival that celebrates the start of Spring, as well as Hermann’s German heritage. The Clara Eitmann Messmer Amphitheater and 3rd Street will be bustling with an outdoor market with over 50 vendors offering handcrafted and unique items, local wineries and distilleries, and music that will make you want to get up on your feet. The whole town celebrates with great food, beer gardens, heritage tours, children’s games, Maypole dancers, and Parade. See the schedule on our event website here.
In commemoration of 70 years of Maifest in Hermann, there will be a reception at the City Park on Sunday. More details can be found on MaifestHermann.org. Be sure to check the updated parade route below to find the best spot to watch floats and live performances!
HERMANN GARDEN TOUR
First full weekend of June | June 4-5, 2022
This summer festival features town and country tours of private gardens filled with early summer flowers, herbs and vegetables. There is also a walking tour in public town parks designed by Garden Club members that highlight local horticulture talent for all to see! Visitors will be able to chat freely among many other garden-lovers, as well as chat with pro-gardeners who are happy to answer any questions that you might have.
According to Garden Tour Chair Alice Calhoun, the gardens on the 2022 Garden Tour are unique: “We have many new gardens among both the town and country gardens. Town Tour gardens often are either lovely cottage gardens hidden behind historic homes or river-view gardens. This year they will include two traditional four-square gardens. Country Tour estate gardens tend to be much larger than Town Tour gardens and have different elements and features.”
Additional details can be found on the Garden Club website here.

Hermann’s FreedomFest is a great celebration of America’s independence, with events spreading out across the third and fourth of July.
