BEAN HOLE DAYS JULY 16-17

Come and celebrate Bean Hole Days July 16-17, 2024, in downtown Pequot Lakes. The huge cast iron kettles of beans are buried on Tuesday, July 16, so they can cook overnight and be served at noon, Wednesday, July 17.

The Bean Hole Days tradition in Pequot Lakes goes back to 1938 when people began gathering for the event as local businessmen hosted a bean feed to thank farmers for their support of area businesses. Today, thousands flock to Trailside Park in downtown Pequot Lakes to celebrate this annual tradition.

The town members are so serious about Bean Hole Days that they even have named the kettles that the beans are in. There’s Sven, Lena, Ole, Big Bertha, and of course, Baby Olga.

Before any beans are consumed, the King and Queen Bean must be named and give their royal taste test.

When it comes to the actual taste of the beans, everyone has their own opinion of the flavor, but almost everyone agrees that they are delicious.
