The Spudz Are Back in Town! TATERFEST is officially returning to Mount Jackson Saturday, September 27th, 2025!

Remember the spud-tacular time we had last year? The thrill of the Couch Potato 1-Miler (no shame in embracing your inner couch potato), the delicious showdown of Granny's Tater Salad Contest (we're still dreaming of those creamy concoctions), and the sheer joy of launching spuds sky-high in Randy's Potato Launch Competition? Well, get ready for even MORE tater-ific fun!

Mark your calendars and start practicing your potato sack hopping skills for this year's potato sack races! Get those fry-loving taste buds ready for the French Fry Eating Contest (will YOU be the top potato). And who could forget the adorable Lil Miss Sweet Potato & Mr. Spud Muffin Pageant?

Just like last year, we'll be at Lions Park from 10 AM to 5 PM, serving up a heaping helping of FREE family fun! Expect live music, fantastic food trucks, a refreshing beer & wine garden, a bustling Farmer's Market, the ever-popular Tater-Tot Kids Zone, and fascinating Tractor Show & Agricultural Education Exhibits!
