2nd Annual Blueberry Festival at the Apple Barn

Past event
Jul 20, 2024, 10 AM to 5 PM

Following the incredible success of last year's inaugural event, which inspired our jam packed 2024 event schedule, we are thrilled to bring the community together once again for a day of family fun and celebration.

Event Highlights:

• Free Blueberry Picking: Enjoy a day of free blueberry picking in our beautiful fields behind the barn.
• Live Music: Featuring the Hale Mountain Band, providing a lively soundtrack to the festivities.
• Incredible Vendors: Ice cream, food trucks, magic acts, balloon-making, and more. Local artisans, crafters, and a special section for young entrepreneurs will showcase their unique products. (Any young vendors interested in participating are still welcome)
• Blueberry Bake-Off Competition: Show off your baking skills in our first-ever Blueberry Bake-Off! Participants must submit their blueberry-themed baked items, with enough for 12 judging pieces, by 12:00 PM. The winner will receive $150, a year's supply of apple cider donuts, and bragging rights. Registration forms are available at the Apple Barn and Bake Shop or on our website.
• Blueberry-Themed Delights: Vendors and our concession stand will offer blueberry-themed products, baked goods, and signature beverages.
• Family Activities: Games, a scavenger hunt, a huge bubble area, a corn pit playtime, and more to keep the kids entertained.

The festival grounds, located directly behind the barn, provide a perfect, safe setting away from bustling Route 7. With ample parking and additional parking available with signage on the day of the event, attendees can relax and enjoy the beautiful landscape.
