The Jasper Strassenfest Committee has announced the theme and Hofmarschall for the 48th Annual Jasper Strassenfest to be held July 30 through August 2, 2026, in downtown Jasper, Indiana. The theme “Threads of History, Patterns of Progress” interweaves the area’s rich German heritage with the momentous occasion of America’s 250th birthday. Members have worked diligently to locate and mark the graves of seven Revolutionary War soldiers buried in Dubois County, and sponsored a bronze plaque on the east walk of the Dubois County Courthouse honoring these patriots. The Jasper Strassenfest committee wants to express its gratitude to all past sponsors for making the Jasper Strassenfest a premier German Festival. New Dubois County non-profit groups are encouraged to consider the Jasper Strassenfest as a fundraiser.
