The fireworks display held on Saturday evening was spectacular! I think it's worth a visit just for the fireworks displays, personally.

Must visit event! The entire weekend celebrates tradition and community. We especially loved the live bands, food, and walking around downtown Frankenmuth.

Bavarian Festival never disappoints. Nice variety of food and beverage vendors with all my German favorites! We enjoyed the events and bands so much that we joined the team of volunteers.
