The Yale Bologna Festival is on the calendar for July 29th through 31st this year and the traditional small-town festival has something for everyone.
This is the 32nd annual festival that celebrates the common lunch-box meat product that is produced at C. Roy, Inc, in Yale. The festival has an abundance of creative traditions from the crowning of the King and Queen of Bologna to the famous outhouse races and the popular parade and fireworks.
This year’s festival has food vendors all weekend long, but no one goes to the Bologna Festival without getting a fried bologna sandwich. There are inflatable midway games, pony rides, and plenty of kids’ activities and family-friendly shows. Living history displays will be at the Yale City Park all weekend.
The Big Bologna Fireworks Spectacular is planned for Friday, July 29th, with the best viewing near Yale High school. The Big Bologna Parade steps off at 6:00 p.m. on Saturday, July 30th.
There is much more to the Bologna Festival and a link to the full schedule of events can be found below.
