The 41st Annual St. James Brats and Festival for 2025 will be remembered as one of the best in recent history. We couldn't have asked for better weather and the food and entertainment were fantastic as always. We had many first time volunteers along side those that have been a part of every edition of this festival.

What makes this event so special for St. James is seeing our congregation and community come together to support and enjoy this event and being able to give back to our community in the way of donations. We were able to provide donations to the following organizations.

  • Columbus Cake Celebrations
  • First English Lutheran Church, Tiffin, OH
  • Habitat for Humanity
  • Help House of Madison County
  • Hilliard Food Pantry
  • Jordan's Crossing
  • Lutheran Social Services
  • Marmon Valley Farm
  • Patches of Light
  • Prince of Peace Lutheran Church, Cincinnati, OH
  • Scout Troops at St. James
  • Sleep in Heavenly Peace
  • St. James Free Meal
  • Stefanie Spielman Fund for Breast Cancer 

We are looking forward to our 42nd St. James Brats and Crafts Festival in 2026!
