Sausage Festival in Hungary
Where better to sample sausage than Eastern Europe?
The Békéscsaba: Csabai Sausage Festival (Csabai Kolbászfesztivál) takes place October 22 through 25, 2015, just about three hours by car southeast of Budapest, Hungary.
It celebrates the paprika-spiked Hungarian Csabai sausage. The highlight? A sausage-making contest in which about 500 teams compete. There are also traditional pig-feast meals, a stuffed cabbage-making competition, folk music and a wine festival.
