Wurst Festival

  • Post author:

Reminder: today (Friday) and tomorrow they’re holding the 29th Annual Wallingford Wurst Festival at St. Benedict’s School. If you’ve got kids, it’s a ton of fun: so many bouncy-house slides, bouncy-house tumble rooms, bouncy-house obstacle courses, they should call it the Wallingford Bouncy House Festival. That lacks a certain alliterative appeal, though. Plus there’s food, music**, crafts, a biergarten* and all sortsa blingy goodness.

Yeah, the weather may kinda suck, but if you waited around for good weather in this town, you wouldn’t hardly get out at all.

It’s free admission and a fundraiser for the school.

* Our German’s no good, but we’re pretty sure that means “garden in which you drink beer”
** Caspar Babypants at 12:30 pm on Saturday!

I started Wallyhood back in 2008, right when my son was born, because I realized I had lived in the neighborhood since 1993 and didn't really know my neighbors. I figured writing a blog about what was going on around me would be a good way to meet people and help other people do the same. As the years progressed, those neighbors have picked up the torch and it is now a group effort, which I adore. I moved out of Wallingford for a few years (2020 - 2025), but I'm back, now living with my wife, son and dog (Dillinger) up in Tangletown.
