Welcome!

Mark your calendars now for next year’s event: August 17-18, 2012! See the latest news below…

Our area of eastern Washington and northern Idaho, the Palouse Region, grows a third of the lentils in the United States. Since 1989, the National Lentil Festival has celebrated this wonderful little legume that is consumed by people all over the world. We invite you to explore our website and welcome you to join us for the National Lentil Festival in August.

The 2011 poster, pictured left, was created by local artist Julie Walker.   See this and other posters in the gallery or purchase it in our store!

Congratulations to Jacqueline Daisley, the 2012 National Lentil Festival poster artist!

We received 10 submissions for the 2012 Commemorative Poster. The chosen artwork will be used for all festival merchandise and advertising for the 2012 event. The Lentil Festival has a high reputation of producing quality art posters, and for 2010 and 2011, posters have sold out prior to the festival.

The artwork will be unveiling at the 2012 Poster Unveiling and Wine vs. Brew Tasting. Stay tuned for the official date!
