Chairperson's Welcome

"Herzliche gruesse und willkommen zum dreiumddreissigsten jaehrlichen Jasper Strassenfest!"

Welcome to the 33rd annual Jasper German "street festival!" Every year the Jasper community proudly pays tribute to its Old World roots with an outdoor festival of German music, dance, games, food, and fun. We invite everyone-natives, neighbors, and newcomers alike, to celebrate with us. And you don't have to be German to come and have a great time.

The Jasper Strassenfest provides a wide variety of entertainment and attractions that will put a smile on everyone's faces. We have rides and games, bratwurst and struedel, music and contests, and if you're thirsty, we can take care of that too! You can use this website to steer you in the right direction.

Jasper celebrates its German beginnings the same way that Americans of other cultural and ethnic backgrounds celebrate their heritages. It is the combined strength of all diversities-e pluribus unum-that makes America the great nation it is. When we come together to honor our differences, we celebrate the best that is in all of us. This year's Strassenfest theme is "Living, Giving, Growing...Together." Let's get together and have some fun!
