A Tradition Rooted in Community
Yoder Day exists to celebrate the traditions, craftsmanship, and community spirit of Yoder, Kansas — bringing families together for a day of joy, connection, and cultural appreciation.
Yoder Days began as a way to celebrate the Amish and Mennonite roots of our small Kansas town — and it’s grown into a beloved tradition that draws families from near and far.
Every fourth Saturday in August, Yoder comes alive with buggy races, homemade food, hand-crafted goods, and the kind of community you don’t find just anywhere.
It’s more than a festival.
It’s a living story — and you’re invited to be part of it.
