Welcome
Phelps New York Photographic Gallery ~ Sauerkraut Festival

 

If you live in Phelps, then you live in Sauerkraut country. Every year, during the first weekend in August, Phelps, known as the Sauerkraut Capital of the World, is transformed by this gustatory event.

The pickled cabbage once produced in this small village, causes a stir amongst the locals, who compete to create the best sauerkraut-based dish and decorating a cabbage head.

And, no one can miss out on the annual "Cutting of the Cake" by the Prince and Princess.

   

2004 Gallery! The photo gallery for 2004 is now available on the Phelps Sauerkraut Festival Web Site.

The former home of Silver Floss Sauerkraut factory sponsors such events as Kiddie Night (with rides and games), raffles, fireworks, a parade, an arts & crafts show, and a 20K race - the winner gets, what else? A can of Silver Floss Sauerkraut. What a befitting trophy!
