The Rhubarb Festival is back in Lanesboro Saturday, June 1st! Enjoy fun-filled festival entertainment, eat some yummy food, and try your hand at the free rhubarb games and contests.

Fresh Rhubarb Stalks

I grew up with rhubarb in a few places on our farm, and although we have tried to grow here the process has been slow.

For now our girls like to enjoy rhubarb from their grandparents farm when they go to visit. They eat it straight from the garden! Although some prefer a bit of sugar as it can be tart.

I’m not quite that adventurous, but I do like it baked in a cake.  I might be adventurous as I just found recipe for Rhubarb cookies that I might try.

Lanesboro Rhubarb Festival Details

Rhubarb Festival will have a strong focus on entertainment, with many vendors and other fun.  This year the Rhubarb Run is also returning. They will have Rhubarb games, food vendors, and live entertainment.

The heart of the festival takes place in Sylvan Park in downtown Lanesboro. Start by browsing the Lanesboro Farmers Market where you’ll find all the in-season spring vegetables and other local delights.

Then enjoy the fun-filled festival entertainment and food, plus try your hand at the free rhubarb games and contests. There will be great prizes for all events!

Stay in town and check out the local merchants and all the town has to offer.

Other free entertainment includes a rhubarb fashion show (you can be in it), goat chill out (hang out nearby and be entertained watching the *kids*), and a Bee-Bop-A-Ree-Bop Rhubarb Pie Sing-along

Music fills the park in the afternoon so bring your lawn chair and enjoy it all! This year music is provided by Needy Dog and Clouds So Swift.

Vendors provide opportunities to purchase additional rhubarb treats and products.

Come early! Rhubarb items go fast!

If this all got you hungry, be sure to try this Classic Rhubarb Crisp recipe. Just like Grandma used to make!
