Join us for the 22nd Slovenian Sausage Festival
Saturday, September 12, 2026 • SNPJ Farm, Kirtland, Ohio
Hosted by the National Cleveland-Style Polka Hall of Fame and Museum.
Klobasa is King at the 22nd annual Slovenian Sausage Festival, hosted by the National Cleveland-Style Polka Hall of Fame. Celebrate Saturday, September 12, 2026, with eight hours of non-stop music from noon to 8:00 p.m. at SNPJ Farm in Kirtland, Ohio. You can also vote for the vendor whose sausage you like best.
Fifty accordions squeeze to please on stage and at the jam sessions. Ten top Cleveland-Style bands and entertainers serve up peppy polkas and dreamy waltzes to help you burn up those extra calories. Bring your squeezebox or banjo and jam along. Sample a sausage from each maker and then choose your favorite. Pierogies, strudels and more await you between spins on the dance floor.
Each Slovenian sausage (kranjska klobasa) is made with cured and smoked pork with garlic and a savory blend of seasonings. The 2026 klobasa winners for the People’s Choice and the Jury Award are announced at 6:00 p.m.
Tickets are $12 in advance and $15 at the gate. 18 and under free.
