Blueberry Festival Directory 2011

The Blueberry Festival Directory: because blueberry festivals are the perfect day out for the whole family.

You can't really lose with pie and wholesome entertainment, can you? Sometimes they even throw in a beer tent for the grown-ups.

We've listed blueberry festivals in Canada and the US (primarly in the blueberry growing areas).

If you know of a blueberry festival you'd like to see listed, please do add it to the Blueberry Festival Directory.

We aim to build a world-wide listing. No event is too big or too small :)
