Grüne Soße Festival (Green Sauce Festival) takes over Frankfurt am Main, Germany each early May, celebrating the city’s beloved Grüne Soße—a cool herb sauce made with seven herbs and often served with eggs and potatoes. Inside the festival tent at Roßmarkt, local restaurants compete in a nightly blind tasting, and the audience votes to award the coveted Herb Crown. Between tastings, expect lively stage entertainment and plenty of chances to sample other regional bites that pair perfectly with this Frankfurt classic.
