The 2023 Lanesboro

RHUBARB FESTIVAL IS

ON! Saturday, June

3, 2023 9:00 AM til 3:00 PM

  (The event will look a little different as we implement 

modifications to help prevent the spread of COVID-19) 

The pandemic kept us from celebrating our favorite "fruitegtable" last year, but we look forward to seeing you all this year. 

We are so grateful to all of the festival-goers and volunteers over the years who have made this event special.   

Two big events return this year, Rhubarb Run and Rhubarb Tasting Event.

We are very excited to announce the return of the long-missed Rhubarb Tasting Event!!!!! Starting at 10:30 A.M. til 12:00 P.M. This event had long been the staple of Rhubarb Festival, until Covid-19 wrecked the party. It's back, so let the competition begin. Do you have a great rhubarb recipe you believe is award winning? Do you enjoy tasting a smorgasbord of delicious treats? Come on out to Rhubarb Festival, enjoy the games and vendors, and take part in the RHUBARB TASTING EVENT and vote on your favorites. Prizes will be awarded at 12:30 P.M. 

There will be a strong focus on entertainment, and most of your favorite vendors will return. We are proud to announce this year the Rhubarb Run is returning. 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. Great prizes for all events! Stay in town and check out our 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 Rhub-Art opportunities. Music fills the park the entire day so bring your lawn chair and enjoy it all! This year music is provided by a variety of local rhubarb-lovin'musicians. Musicians and entertainers are listed under the Schedule drop-down!

Vendors provide opportunities to purchase additional rhubarb treats and products.

Come early! Rhubarb items go fast! See you there!

We encourage you to consider staying for the night and enjoying all that the area has to offer. Go to http://www.lanesboro.com to visit the Lanesboro Chamber of Commerce. We are the Bed and Breakfast Capital of Minnesota, and have some hotels as well.
