RHUBARB FAQ

Where do I park for Rhubarb Festival?

We kindly ask that guests with limited mobility or special accessibility needs park at: Bethany Community Church - 6700 Grand Avenue From Bethany, you can enter through the secondary festival entrance off of 67th Avenue W. All other guests are encouraged to park at: Spirit Mountain Bike Park and Trailhead - 8551 Grand Avenue A free shuttle to the festival grounds will run regularly from the trailhead, starting at 9:30am, and ending at 3:30pm. The shuttle will drop passengers off at the main festival entrance off of Grand Avenue.

Can I bike to the festival?

Yes! We encourage those who are able to bike – a bike valet will be provided on-site to ensure your bike will be stowed safely while you enjoy the festivities.

Can I bring my dog?

As much as we also love our furry-friends, we kindly ask that you leave your pets at home.

I'm interested in donating my own rhubarb - how can I participate?

Starting June 1st, Super One in West Duluth (5300 Bristol Street) will be collecting rhubarb donations on behalf of Rhubarb Festival. Find a Super One employee in the produce section, and they will help you out with the rest! To harvest your rhubarb for the festival, we recommend pulling the rhubarb (instead of cutting), and only harvesting about a third of the clump to ensure regrowth. Please donate fresh, whole stalks with no leaves. Rhubarb does not have to be washed!

Will the festival be taking credit card payments for food, etc?

We will accept credit card payments, however, a surcharge fee will be applied to all credit card transactions.

THANK YOU TO THOSE WHO MAKE RHUBARB HAPPEN!

Chum is “People of faith working together to provide basic necessities, foster stable lives, and organize for a just and compassionate community.” We provide emergency shelter, food and street outreach throughout Duluth.

 

Chum is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit human services agency in Duluth, MN sponsored and governed by an interfaith coalition of 44 faith communities. Chum was founded in 1973 when 10 churches located in Duluth’s Central Hillside neighborhood pooled their resources to meet the needs of the neighborhood’s many low-income residents more effectively. Chum now offers emergency food, shelter, advocacy, support, and outreach throughout Duluth.

Chum is Duluth’s primary safety-net organization where people who are homeless or who have very low incomes can come for assistance and a welcoming, safe community. Chum operates Duluth’s largest food shelf and provides emergency shelter and supportive services for homeless individuals and families. We help people find housing and employment, access public benefits, and receive basic medical care. At Chum’s Drop-In Center (day shelter) people can pick up mail (both physical and e-mail), do their laundry, have a hot meal, socialize over games or conversations, and perhaps most importantly, find a warm and welcoming community where they can be safe, heard, and respected.
Chum is an equal opportunity provider and employer.
