Welcome to the official website for International Pancake Day in Liberal, Kansas! Pancake Day, celebrated on Shrove Tuesday, is a time-honored tradition that began as a way to use up rich and fatty ingredients before Lent. Since 1950, we’ve run in the legendary Pancake Race—a friendly competition against Olney, England, that has connected our communities for over 75 years. Join us in honoring this unique blend of history, culture, and deliciousness!
