Csabai Sausage Festival 2nd best Autumn Food Festival in Europe!
Hungary has been famous for its many traditional festivals, but the Csabai Sausage Festival occupies a special place among them for sure. Organised first in 1997, this festival became one of the biggest ones in Hungary. It welcomes tens of thousands of visitors not only from Hungary but also from all around the world. They come to taste the delicacies, but some foreigners even try to win the awards and make their own sausage specialities during the contest.
According to bigseventravel.com, fall “might spell the end of long sunny days but it also signals the start of the harvest, the most delicious time of year. Mountains of truffles, wine, nuts, chocolate and vegetables, combined with baggier and thicker clothing, makes it the perfect time of year to tuck into the tastiest things you can find.” Therefore, they recommend everybody to “stop mourning the end of summer and start planning your foodie getaway.”
