The Manhattan Area Chamber of Commerce is set to present the 2019 Manhattan Potato Festival on Saturday, August 17th. Manhattan, home of the seed potato, is home to the day-long festival including a pancake breakfast, parade, car show, live music, vendor booths, children’s area, and of course, delicious potatoes in every form. The Festival runs from 9am–4pm with supplemental events before and after, including nighttime downtown street dance featuring Mark Longie & the Western Skies.
