Germanfest began in 1993, with a Pledge of Friendship signed between the two cities by their mayors at the time. Since then, nearly 500 Neckargemünd high school students have come to Missoula, while students who call the Garden City home have had a chance to spend several months in its southern Germany counterpart. Every year the Missoula community gathers at Caras Park to celebrate our sister city connection and the German cultural heritage.
