Tater Day

Tater Day

Tater Day is a small festival in Benton, Kentucky held on the first Monday in April.

It was started in the late 1800s as a celebration of the first day of spring, and a time when all of the townsfolk would get together and trade sweet potatoes. The biggest part of the festival is the Parade, which completes one circuit around the town. It includes Political floats, MCHS marching band, horse and buggies, clowns, vintage cars, horses, Ms. Tater Day, and other things for which Marshall County is known. There is also junior ms. tater that is allowed for little girls ages 5 to 12, and a little Ms., little Mr., tiny Miss, and baby Ms. Tater day pageant and floats for the younger kids. Tater Day also has carnival rides, games, a market, mule pulls, and several other exciting events.
