Every spring, the tiny Bluff Country town of Lanesboro hosts one of the most colorful small-town Minnesota festivals of the year. Be sure to mark your calendars for this year’s Lanesboro Rhubarb Festival.
The small town of Lanesboro, Minnesota is tucked into the valleys of the state's Bluff Country.
This historic southeast Minnesota community is, perhaps, best known as a popular stop along the Root River State Trail and as a bed-and-breakfast hotspot.
What folks may not know about Lanesboro and its citizens is their love for rhubarb.
Events include ranting, rhubarb-themed art - or rhub-art, as it is known in Lanesboro - a farmers market, music, singing, games, and contests, including largest leaf and heaviest stalk.
Clearly, the Lanesboro Rhubarb Festival is one of the most colorful spring events that takes place in the Land of 10,000 Lakes. For more information on this year’s event, such as date and schedule, visit the festival’s website. You could even make a stop at the Rhubarb Festival part of a scenic road trip through Minnesota’s Bluff Country!
