Brat Fest, Food festival in Madison, Wisconsin, US
Brat Fest spans across Memorial Day weekend featuring numerous food vendors selling different types of bratwurst sausages with traditional German preparation methods.
The festival started in 1983 as a small community event and expanded into a major celebration that brings thousands of visitors to Madison each year.
Local music bands perform throughout the festival while attendees experience Wisconsin food heritage through traditional meat preparation techniques from German immigrants.
