Lenexa Spinach Festival

Join the community for a full day of family fun celebrating everything spinach at this beloved local festival. You'll find live music throughout the day, food vendors serving up both traditional and creative spinach dishes, and craft booths to browse. The festival's signature attraction is the chance to taste the World's Largest Spinach Salad, and if you're a creative cook, you can enter your own spinach recipe in the festival's contest. There's truly something for everyone, whether you're looking to enjoy local entertainment or discover new recipes. Younger kids will have plenty to keep them engaged with dedicated children's activities running most of the day, including cane pole fishing and pedal boat rides. The park setting gives families room to spread out and explore at their own pace. From morning performances by steel drum musicians to afternoon saxophone sets, the live entertainment provides a nice backdrop while you sample food, chat with local vendors, and soak in the festive atmosphere.
