A Global Celebration of the World’s Favorite Tuber

Mark your calendars for a day of “spud-tacular” fun! On Saturday, May 30, Food + Farm Exploration Center joins the global community in celebrating International Day of Potato. This day is dedicated to recognizing the nutritional, economic, and cultural importance of the potato—and we’re doing it with some extra flair.

Building on the success of last year, we are bringing back your favorite activities and adding new enhancements to make this year even bigger. Whether you’re a fan of the science behind the starch or just here for the snacks, there is something for everyone to enjoy.

EVENT DETAILS

Cost: Included with General Admission (Free for Members!)

Highlights: Free chips, exclusive stickers, and drop-in activities.
