Visitors at the Tomball German Heritage Festival will be able to listen to music, dance and eat during the three-day event which will celebrates the area’s German roots. Along with the festival, Tomball also became a sister city to Telgte, a city in northwest Germany, to deepen its ties to the settlers who settled the area. According to the sister city site, a similar German dialect found in the names of Tomball streets and buildings support a historical link between the two cities, such as Telge Road and Buvinghausen Street. While some visitors to the Tomball German Heritage Festival may not be aware of the historical significance of the first founding families, the event will give them a glimpse. The upcoming festival will be from Friday, March 29 to Sunday, March 31 at the Tomball Depot.
