What is Tater Daze?
Brooklyn Park Tater Daze is a unique festival where residents pay homage to the humble potato. Early settlers quickly discovered that potatoes flourished in the flat, sandy soil; this area then went on to became one of the nation’s top potato producers.
In 1964, the first festival celebrating our potato-farming heritage saw a variety of exciting events, including a queen pageant, Tater Mash Dance, kite flying, a parade, games, a farmer’s market, rides and a pancake breakfast.
Prizes given away included coupons for gasoline, free groceries, cash and 420 pounds of potatoes donated by local growers. Over the years, Tater Daze has adapted and grown to accommodate our ever-changing culture and today attracts nearly 10,000 local area residents at a variety of locations across Brooklyn Park!
Catch Buerkle Acura in the parade tonight at 6:30!
