In 1970, the Waynesville Retail Merchants were planning to hold a sidewalk sale. It was suggested that a sauerkraut dinner be served as part of the event. With this decision the Ohio Sauerkraut Festival was born. That Fall, October 3, 1971, Waynesville hosted its first Sauerkraut Festival serving 528 pounds of sauerkraut to approximately 1500 visitors. Entertainment included an antique car parade, German bands and folk dancers, checkers and spelling bee contests and of course, prizes for the largest head of cabbage grown and the best home-made sauerkraut. Booths were set up on Main Street to sell kraut-containing foods (including sauerkraut ice cream), Fall harvest produce and a display of antiques, arts and crafts and a few vendors.

Word of the high-wuality food, entertainment and crafts spread quickly and the festival attracted crowds of approximately 4000 in 1971, 10,000 in 1972 and by 1974 the size of the Sauerkraut Festival brought it under the management of the Waynesville Chamber of Commerce. The festival continued to attract even larger numbers of visitors surpassing 40,000in 1976. In the early 1980's the number of booths orrdering quality, hand-crafted merchandise steadily increased. The number of festival goers also increased with an estimated 100,000 visitors attending the 1982 event.

Today, the Ohio Saurekraut Festival entertains approxmately 330,000 visitors each year to browse among the 450 plus juried Craft Booths and sample the orrerings from more than thirty different food booths. It continues to be one of the top quality festivals in the United States attracting visitors and vendors from every state across the Nation. Hope to see YOU there this year!
