Celebrate Bavarian Heritage

TrachtFest Costume Contest

Step into the spotlight at our premier TrachtFest Costume Contest! Tracht refers to the traditional and historical garments of German-speaking countries. Attendees can expect a vibrant display of Men's Lederhosen—durable leather breeches—and Women's Dirndls, which comprise a bodice, blouse, full skirt, and apron. Whether you're a purist or adding a modern twist, join us as we celebrate authentic Bavarian style in the heart of the Northwoods. Register for your chance to win a cash prize. Costume contest voting will be judged by all attendees via a QR code on participant's number badge. Proudly Sponsored by:
