The National Lentil Festival gets underway at 5 p.m. Friday, Aug. 19, in Pullman with free lentil chili from the world's largest bowl of chili and live music from several local artists.
Most of the two-day festival’s events take place on Spring Street and in Reaney Park, including cooking demonstrations at 1, 2 and 3 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 20, at the park, followed at 4 p.m. by the “Legendary Lentil Cook-off.”
