This is how it all happens. Planning, round the clock work, and delicious determination! Ruckus Donuts is going big this year! Gates open at 4pm on Friday, 7am on Saturday, and the party goes until 10pm both nights!

It is that time Ruckus Nation…

It’s Week at Ruckus Donuts.

This is annualy the busiest week, or more accurately weekend, of our entire year. This is the only event I use the “I” word (insane) for. Starting Friday myself, and .farnham will embark on an overnight donut making odyssey in which we’ll make ten fiddy donuts for y’all to enjoy that Saturday.

We’ve been planning for months, prepping for weeks. This will be my & Conner’s 4th Fest Night, Ellie’s 2nd.

It. Is. A. Marathon. If past Donut Festivals are any indication I will not sleep for the better part of 3 days to make this happen.

I’ll be very honest - this year has been rough. We need this to be a success. It would mean a LOT to me if y’all could come support us & our fellow donut vendors.

To that: our Rockland shop will be closed Saturday, June 13th so that we can participate at full force. We’ll reopen Sunday, albeit most likely a wee bit fatigued, groggy & crashing off caffeine fixes.

Let the insanity begin…

These fine folks are the backbone of our communities, and we hope you support them all year long!
