THE WÜRST IS YET TO COME
One of the best nights of the year is back!
We hope everyone will join us for a night of fellowship, sausage, and fun on October 26.
October 26 marks our 17th-Annual Best Würst Fest at Redeemer!
If you haven't joined us in the past, you might be wondering what the big deal is. It's just a fall festival, right?
Well… yeah, it is. To be honest, we still don't exactly know what gives this event its special sauce. The ingredients for a proper BWF are simple: we grill over 600 pounds of sausage, we eat together, and we fellowship in the fall weather.
But, year after year, when all those elements come together, it's magic. When the Conecuh has that perfectly crispy outer skin, when the fall breeze cuts up the trail, when the laughter and conversation flows easily, when the kids chase each other through the crowd… it's like a little link of heaven on this side of eternity.
So, yeah, it's just like a fall festival. But to us, it's more than that.
It's Best Würst Fest.
Everyone is welcome - both members and non-members of Redeemer! This is a great opportunity to welcome family, friends, co-workers, acquaintances, or even that random guy you met at the grocery store to our church.

This year’s Best Würst Fest will be in exactly the same spot as past years, though the name has changed recently. It’s now called All Good Beverage Company.
For those that don’t remember, it’s along the Hugh Kaul Trail behind Christian Service Mission and Lee Rogers Tire in the former Ghost Train location.
Check out our parking section below for more details on the best way to get there.
If you’re wondering where you should park, here are the best options.
-
We have access to All Good Brewing’s large parking lot in front of their building. We recommend entering from 1st Ave South or via the connector on 34th Street South.
-
Christian Service Mission has generously offered their front parking lot to our church family for Best Würst Fest.
Once you park, you’ll be able to walk through the inside of their facility to the courtyard where Best Würst Fest is being hosted.
-
Lee Rogers Tire is generously allowing our church family to park in their front lot.
Once you park, follow the signs around the west side of their building for easy access to the courtyard where Best Würst Fest is being hosted.
-
The beautiful Hugh Kaul Trail runs directly to the courtyard where Best Würst Fest is being held. You can easily access it from the east behind Avondale’s main street.
Alternatively, you can park on 2nd Ave South on the west side closer to Pepper Place and walk the Rotary Trail from that direction.
-
The weather is looking wonderful, and it could be a great opportunity for a stroll from Redeemer’s parking lot. It’s about a 15 minute walk, which is the perfect opportunity to work off some of that Conecuh sausage.
If this is your first Best Würst Fest, we’re excited to welcome you! We’ll have some First Würst pins at the entry, and we encourage you to grab one so that others can welcome you.
Children are absolutely welcome! We'll have inflatables, activities, and a table full of food specifically for them. It's also peak season for costumes, and we'd love to see them!
This year, we’re so excited to have the new All Good Brewing host Best Würst Fest. They have a fantastic selection of non-alcoholic drinks in addition to their normal offerings.
We’re also so excited to welcome Better Kombucha. They’ll have a few of their locally brewed kombuchas available!
And, as always, we will also have free water bottles available for all.
It takes a lot to put on Best Würst Fest each year, both in volunteer hours and funding. If you’d like to donate to cover some of the cost, it would be greatly appreciated.
Have any additional questions? Want to talk about this year’s sausage selection? Are you an heir to the Conecuh sausage throne and you want to be a guest of honor?
