Gemuetlichkeit Days

From Gemuetlichkeit Days Website:

48th Year - Sept. 14-16, 2018

Gemuetlichkeit Days is a community festival to build spirit and unity by celebrating our communitys German heritage in a family-friendly atmosphere.

Gemuetlichkeit Days (ge-meat-li-kite) was started in 1971 to celebrate the German heritage of many of the residents of the Jefferson area. The festival was first held under tents in the down town area. The festival quickly grew and needed far more space to hold the crowds. In 1975 the festival was moved to the Jefferson County Fair grounds and has been held there every year since then.

Gemuetlichkeit Days tries to present a variety of entertainment to our guests. We offer some of the finest German music and Polka music in the country as well as some local favorite bands. We offer a variety of German and local foods as well as contests, activities and a great parade. The festival is always held the 2nd weekend after Labor Day..
