Saturday features several events with something for everyone in the family!

Athletic Events

Looking to get your blood pumping? All ages are welcome for the Tase T. Lentil 5K Fun Run! If you are feeling adventurous try the 100K Tour de Lentil Bike Ride through the scenic Palouse hills. Get some of your buddies together for the Co-Ed Softball Tournament or just watch the kids compete in the 3 on 3 Basketball Tournament or Boards & Blades Skateboarding Competition!

Food and Entertainment

Maybe you would rather sit and relax? Grab some tasty lentil food at the Lentil Lane Food Court. Sit in the shade of the Microbrew Tasting Tent and listen to the music from the Main Stage. Maybe take in a movie about how farming evolved here on the Palouse in the Farm Tent!

Early Morning Activities

For you early risers, the Pancake Breakfast is for you! Get your Festival experience started right with a delicious breakfast served by the Lion’s Club. Then get your spot reserved along the Grand Parade route to be sure you have the best view. Then head to the park early to scope out the fantastic deals available in the Lentil Marketplace!

Fun for the Kids
