Elberta Sausage Festival


It’s a beautiful fall week on the Coast. It’s certainly golf and outdoor festival weather here, with highs in the upper 60’s & low 70’s, and lows in the 50’s. This weekend we’ll be playing a round of golf at Soldiers Creek Golf Club then going to the Elberta Sausage Festival . There will be booths for arts & crafts, live music, carnival rides for the kids, baked goods and some of the best sausage dogs you’ll ever find. So good in fact they expect to sell over 7,000 lbs. of sausage at the single day festival. The sausage festival is a town fund-raiser, spearheaded by Elberta's Volunteer Fire Department since 1978, whose proceeds are used for improving not only the fire department, but the town as well. Additionally, local non-profit organizations also benefit from the festival through proceeds from their booth sales and parking lot fees. Due to its huge success, the festival is now held twice a year on the last Saturday of March and October. Come out and enjoy for a good cause.
