International Horseradish Festival

For over two decades, the Horseradish Festival has celebrated the multi-faceted and vastly under utilized spicy member of the mustard family and brought people from around the midwest and the country to Collinsville for fun, entertainment, and mostly great food and drink. Proceeds from the festival have helped local organizations, for many years and in many ways, including, helping to build playgrounds, helping handicapped children and helping to buy sports equipment.

The Horseradish Festival features free entertainment (great bands this year), food booths, root toss, root sacking contest, craft fair, Bloody Mary contest, horseradish cooking contest, many activities for children, game booths, of course the Annual Root Derby!
