Our State Championship Tournaments will bring the best Steinholders from across each state together to battle it out for the title of 2026 State Steinholding Champion! We're working with bars, breweries, restaurants, festivals, and more to set up qualifying round locations across participating states so it's easy for Steinholders to find a place to compete and qualify. The winners from each Qualifying Venue will be invited to move on to the State Finals where the toughest, most determined men's and women's competitors will be crowned the 2026 State Champions and win eternal glory! Not only that, the State Champions will also earn the opportunity to represent their state at this year's U.S. Steinholding Association National Championship Finals Event! The State Championships are also sponsored by BavariaTrachten.com where you can use the discount code STEINHOLDING any time to get 10% off any purchase of lederhosen, dirndls, and other fest-wear accessories all season long!
