The Volga-German Centennial Association is a cultural and historical organization based in Hays, Kansas. Founded in 1974, the association is dedicated to preserving the heritage of the Volga-German immigrants who settled in the region over a century ago.

The Volga-Germans were a group of German-speaking people who lived along the Volga River in Russia before immigrating to the United States in the late 1800s. Many settled in Kansas, including the Hays area, where they established a strong agricultural and cultural presence.

The association hosts a variety of events throughout the year, including an annual Volga-German Oktoberfest celebration, which features traditional food, music, and dance. They also hold educational programs, historical presentations, and genealogy workshops to help members trace their Volga-German roots.

The association maintains a museum and research center in Hays, which houses artifacts and documents related to the Volga-German experience. They also publish a quarterly newsletter, "The Volga-German Heritage News," which provides updates on the organization's activities and highlights significant events in Volga-German history.

Overall, the Volga-German Centennial Association plays an important role in preserving the legacy of this unique cultural group and promoting awareness of their contributions to the Hays community and beyond.
