PRETZEL FUN FACTS

Did you know the pretzel dates back more than 1,500 years? According to legend, European monks created the pretzel to resemble folded arms in prayer. The iconic twist became a symbol of good luck, prosperity, and hospitality throughout Europe. Today, pretzels remain one of the world's most beloved snacks—and Pretzel Fest celebrates them in every delicious form imaginable.
