The city’s celebration of its favourite vegetable is being held this weekend and sees food and drink vendors, workshops and entertainers bring the centre to life.
Over 50 chalets have been erected around the city centre for the festival, which is held today and tomorrow (Sunday).
Wakefield, along with Morley and Rothwell, is part of the Yorkshire Rhubarb Triangle - or Pink Triangle - which is so named for the large amount of rhubarb that has historically produced in the area for over 150 years.
Although native to Siberia, the vegetable thrives in the wet, cold winters of the area and is grown in special sheds through a process called "forcing".
Check out our pictures from the Saturday of the festival in the gallery below.
