What you need to know
Wurstfest is New Braunfels' ten-day salute to the German heritage of the Texas Hill Country — sausage, biergartens, polka bands and lederhosen along the Comal River, November 6-15, 2026. Founded in 1961, it's one of the Southwest's great heritage festivals and lands in the mild first-half-of-November window that makes Hill Country RV travel ideal. Guadalupe River State Park is about 30 minutes northwest for a river-canyon campground, and the New Braunfels area itself is thick with riverside RV parks built for the summer tubing crowd — plenty of hookup capacity once the season cools.

Safety + legal
It's a beer-and-sausage festival: keep a non-drinking driver for the run back to camp, and pace the biergarten — Hill Country two-lanes are dark at night.
Insider tip
Guadalupe River State Park (~30 min NW) is the scenic RV base; closer in, the New Braunfels/Comal-Guadalupe riverside RV parks have deep hookup capacity once tubing season ends.
