For the first time ever, CHUM’s beloved Rhubarb Festival is coming to Asbury UMC, 6822 Grand Ave. on Saturday, June 28 from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm across the Asbury UMC grounds and surrounding neighborhood.
This joyful celebration of creativity, generosity, and community is a family-friendly event featuring rhubarb pies and baked goods, a café, live music, kids’ games, contests, and community fun. Admission is free, and all are welcome.
What to Expect
If you’ve never been to the Rhubarb Festival, you’re in for a treat — literally! Festival-goers can purchase fresh rhubarb pies, crisps, jams, and sauces. There’s a full rhubarb café with hot meals, rhubarb lemonade, and coffee for sale, plus live music all day, a scavenger hunt for kids, crafts, contests, a raffle, and the ever-popular pie eating competition. This year’s entertainment lineup includes a cooking demonstration, family games, local performers, and a rhubarb recipe contest that promises to be both delicious and fiercely competitive. Children can enjoy yard games, a rhubarb relay race, and a community-wide art project organized by the Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd.
