The 2024 Catskill Sausage & Brew Festival is back again on Saturday, Aug. 24 with a larger-than-ever selection of local craft beers, ciders and wines.
Nestled between the 26-mile Catskill Scenic Trail in the northwestern Catskills and the meandering Delaware River, the annual event visitors have called an “awesome blast” and a “gift” takes place under the big tent at the Town Park, 101 Maple Ave in Hobart, rain or shine.
Farm-to-table sausage plates include a heap of fresh vegetables all grown within 30 miles of Hobart including Hanselman’s famous just-picked-this-morning corn-on-the-cob from five minutes down the road. Vegetarian options are available.

The knock-out music lineup features the 16-piece Leatherstocking Jazz Band, rock ‘n roll band The Fisher Cats, and the Wyld Blue Band with award-winning blues singer Alana Wyld.
The party will run continually with dancing and music by DJ KDC, creative vendors and assorted games. Revel under the big tent or spread a blanket and picnic on
the grass.
Activities for children include hayrides, bouncy-house, face-painting, hula-hooping, jump-roping and cornhole. A 50-50 raffle will be held.
The Sausage & Brew Fest attracts roughly 1,000 visitors of all ages from across New York state and beyond.
Hobart is the home of the renowned Book Village of the Catskills. All bookshops and giftshops will be open on Main Street Saturday, Aug. 24, from 11 a.m. - 5 p.m.
The festival coincides with Cornell Cooperative Extension’s Family Farm Day and offers a perfect Catskill meal during a day of farm visits. With so many family farms using sustainable methods to raise free-range livestock and grow small-batch produce, Delaware County has long been known for its delicious food products.
Proceeds from the festival benefit community service programs including food for hungry children.
Volunteers are needed in all capacities. For more information on volunteering or setting up a vendor table, visit HobartRotary.com/festival
