Mark your calendars and prepare your taste buds, because the much-awaited Sausage Festival is just around the corner, scheduled to take place from May 17 to 19. This family-friendly event promises a weekend of fun as food vendors from all around the city gather to showcase their best sausages from around the world.
There will be over 40 vendors on-site at the event selling some of Beijing’s best sausages and hot dogs from across the globe. But there’s more to sausages and hot dogs than just the German and American varieties. Think chorizo, merguez, boerewors, and more! Plus, there will be beer, cocktails, and a range of non-alcoholic drinks to wash all that sausage goodness down for the grown-ups.
But the Sausage Festival isn’t just about food – it’s also about entertainment! Throughout the weekend, performers will take to the stage, providing a lively soundtrack to accompany your culinary adventures.
For those looking to work up an appetite or burn off some calories between bites, there will be plenty of games and activities to enjoy. There will be no shortage of ways to have fun and make memories with family and friends.
The Sausage Festival prides itself on being extremely kid-friendly! There’s a dedicated Kid’s Corner with activities just for kids, led by the fantastic team at Tinkergarten, a natural education company that focuses on nature education for children ages 0-7 years old.
They’ve planned an array of activities for kids where they can win cool prizes, have fun, make new friends, and discover fascinating new things about nature.
Kids will love the dedicated play area, while parents can relax knowing that their little ones are safe and entertained, allowing them to fully immerse themselves in the festivities. So bring the whole family out for a weekend of delicious food, great music, and unforgettable fun!
