The Ebensburg Potato Fest is a beloved annual event in the small town of Ebensburg, Pennsylvania. The festival celebrates the town's potato heritage and brings together the community for a day of fun, food, and music.
The festival was started in 1991 by the Ebensburg Business District Authority, a group consisting of local business owners. The goal was to get people downtown and support local businesses. The festival has since grown to become a major event in the area, attracting tens of thousands of visitors each year.
The Potato Fest features a variety of activities for all ages, including:
• Food vendors selling everything from potato pancakes to potato candy
