Oatmeal Festival
April 10 · Level 1 · #2175 of 2238
An oatmeal festival gives a familiar breakfast a place at the center of a community gathering. Oats, comforting bowls of porridge and inventive toppings turn an everyday food into something worth sitting down to enjoy together.
How it is celebrated: local events feature shared breakfasts, tastings and activities for visitors. Organizers set their own programs; festivals using this name do not share one worldwide date or a single set of traditions.
Rolled oats get their flat shape through processing: oat groats are steamed and flattened. They do not grow as the flakes found in a breakfast packet.
