Rhubarb Festival

OUR 2026 RHUBARB FESTIVAL IS HAPPENING ON MAY 15TH & 16TH, 2026. CHECK OUT OUR SPECIAL VIP RHUBARB FESTIVAL PACKAGE!

In the heart of Lancaster County, we've been celebrating rhubarb for over 40 years. I love this time of year when our village comes alive with the sweet aroma of rhubarb jam bubbling in our kettles. Rhubarb is the harbinger of spring in Pennsylvania Dutch Country, and every year, Kitchen Kettle Village pays tribute with a two-day food festival filled with delicious and sometimes zany events.

ACTIVITIES

There are plenty of activities for young and old, families and couples alike. See the fastest rhubarb cars in the world’s only rhubarb race-car derby. Dance down Pepper Lane to live music and interact with fun entertainers. Pay tribute to our very own Rhubarb King & Queen and much more.

WHAT'S COOKING?

Lots of homemade rhubarb foods — rhubarb dips, sauces, pies & delectable drinks. And don't forget the "Best Rhubarb Dessert in Lancaster County" banking contest happening on Saturday. All entries will be on sale after the competition judging wraps up between 10:30am-11am.

We can't wait to see you at this year's Rhubarb Festival in Intercourse, PA. Visit the Rhubarb Festival web page for more details.
