This year we're going virtual!

The National Festival of Breads is a public festival held every other year in Manhattan, Kansas. This year will be a little different; to maintain everyone's safety, this year will be completely virtual. You can still expect the same great workshops, recipes and competition — just from the comfort of your own home!

Be sure to like us on Facebook so you are notified when the event premieres live!

Ready to show off your recipe?

We will be accepting recipe submissions for this year's festival from January 8 to February 22, 2021. During the contest entry period, you can fill out the entry form with your original bread recipe and photo to compete against the best amateur bakers in America.

Rules & Regulations

The Rules & Regulations are now available. We will also make announcements on our social media channels. Follow us on Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest.
