Since 1989, the Yale Bologna Festival has been a three-day celebration of Bologna on the last full weekend in July. Each year, the festival brings new faces to our quaint community, and we love it! We celebrate in many ways in Bolognaville that cater to your entire family.
The festival draws people from all around Michigan as well as other states, eager to see who will be the next King and Queen of Bologna. The Bologna Festival includes such events as the famed Outhouses Races, a Street Dance, Fireworks and a Parade down Main Street that continues to grow each year.
T.J. Minnie sold his first bologna in 1906 from a small shop located downtown on Main Street. Since then, a proud history of making first class bologna is still carried on today by C.Roy Inc., a company founded by Cecil Roy and still run by the Roy family.
