- **Event Name**: Second Annual Fasnacht
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 07 Mar, 2026 at 05:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Fastnacht day is the PA Dutch or German tradition associated with Fat Tuesday. It occurs on Fat Tuesday or Shrove Tuesday. (Fast night)

Because many choose to fast or deny themselves sweets and treats during Lent, it was common to indulge on Fat Tuesday. Fat/Shrove Tuesday is the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday, which is the beginning of Lent. To prepare for Lent, many religions emptied their pantries of indulgences like lard and sugar. In using up the supplies, the Fastnacht was born.

Among Wytheville’s earliest settlers were German immigrants who contributed much in terms of culture and art to the storied history and heritage that is Wytheville.

Expect food trucks, craft brew, and the warmth of the tavern.

We'll also have traditional barn dancing with a caller from 6-8pm, a mask contest, candlelight parade, and burning of old man winter to wrap up festivities.

Masks are highly encouraged but not required.

The event will take place at the Homestead site (1125 Tazewell Street) with PARKING at the Visitors Center (975 Tazewell Street.) Shuttle will be available.
