It's become an annual tradition in Tomball. Every year, on the last Weekend in March, festival-goers break out their Lederhosen and Dirndls "Go German" for the area's largest festival celebrating the heritage of the original German settlers in our area. In other words in the case of German heritage there is much to celebrate in this part of Texas!
