The 12th Annual Tomball German Heritage Festival will be taking place on March 30th through the April 1st. The 19thCentury saw a big influx of immigrants from Germany and Austria to the Tomball area. They created a community and this is the time to come and celebrate the German heritage that flows through the area. The celebration is always held the last weekend of March and has become a tradition.
