The 14th Annual Eastham Turnip Festival On Cape Cod Was A Huge Success!

Yesterday was  Eastham’s 14th Annual Turnip Festival which was a huge success. What a blast! There were hundreds of people there, enjoying everything there was to do from festival vendors selling everything you can think of,  live entertainment, activities and crafts for the kids, a Turnip Cook-Off, and the annual Turnip Shuck-Off. It was a real treat when Suzanne and Scotty from The Dunes Radio asked Phil and me to time the Shuck-Off contest. What a hoot!

In the cafeteria there was a Turnip Cook-Off provided by many of the area restaurants where you could sample a variety of turnip creations from Turnip Bisque, Turnip Popovers, Turnip Slaw, Turnip Bread, Turnip Baklava, Turnip Cannolis and much, much more. Everything was delicious! Jim Russo, Executive Director of the Eastham Chamber, was helping out behind the counter.

The Turnip Festival,  presented by the Eastham Library, was so much fun.  If you didn’t make it there this year, put it on your calendar for next year, but make sure you get there early! What a great event for the whole family!

  1. Windsor has shad, Glastonbury has apples, Eastham has turnips! Who knew?

    Love the prizewinner trophies, the smile on Mr. Russo, and all the activity!
