For the past 52 years, Phelps, New York has held a Sauerkraut Festival to commemorate the time when Phelps was the sauerkraut capital of the world.

The festival features everything sauerkraut (and cabbage). Food, contests, arts and crafts, rides, and more! The Sauerkraut Festival was featured on the Food Network.

Each year we crown the Sauerkraut Festival King and Queen and let them cut the sauerkraut cake.

As always, ADMISSION IS FREE to the festival grounds and many of the activities around the village. The Sauerkraut Festival will be held August 3 to the 5th at the Fireman's Field in Phelps.
