Lisbon Sauerkraut Days
Thursday through Saturday, August 7-9
Throughout Lisbon
This will be the 99th year that Lisbon has celebrated Sauerkraut Days, making the celebration without doubt one of the oldest in Iowa. The event celebrates Lisbon’s German heritage (the folks called the Pennsylvania Dutch) and is just plain fun!
For information on Sauerkraut Days, go to www.sauerkrautdays.com . On Thursday evening, August 7, enjoy a FREE pie and ice cream social at Lisbon City Park. Entertainment and food is served at 7:00 p.m. All the pies are home-baked and donated.Early on Friday night, August 8, the Sauerkraut Days King and Queen will be crowned. There’s a cute twist to this contest: all of the entrants are young children from town. Later on Friday night, come to the first of two street dances on Main Street.
Saturday begins with a 9:00 a.m. parade on Main Street. This is the day to bring the kids from rides and games. All food served is local, and homemade. Don’t forget to have the specialty of the house – Bavarian Sauerkraut donated by Frank's Sauerkraut. Lisbon Sauerkraut Days ends with a street dance on Saturday night on Main Street.
