The Lanesboro Annual Rhubarb Festival actually IS all fun and games! Don't miss out on the Rhu-lympics or Minute to Win it. As silly and light-hearted as the competition is; there are serious prizes to be had! And as always... no admission and everything is FREE!

One of the most delicious traditions of the Lanesboro Annual Rhubarb Festival is the famous "Rhubarb Tasting". Festival-goers can sample a wide variety of rhubarb-inspired treats made by talented local cooks and bakers. From sweet to tart and everything in between, you never know what tasty rhubarb creation you'll discover next!

As with everything at the festival, Rhubarb Tasting is completely FREE! Be sure to arrive early as samples disappear quickly!
