The 43rd annual Blueberry Art Festival is slated for July 26-28, 2024. The event draws 30,000 to 40,000 festival-goers annually across the three-day event. With modifications for health and safety, we anticipate that approximately 270 artists, crafters, and makers will be participating in the 2024 event, along with some fantastic food vendors.

We have many returning artists, crafters, makers, and exciting new ones. You will find it at this year’s festival if you are looking for watercolor or acrylic art, pottery, woodcraft, or something unique or unusual. We mentioned food. Those sumptuous blueberry pies and delicious burgers, brats, and pork chops are back on a stick. Of course, there is seafood, kettle corn, and refreshing beverages – did we mention waffles too?

Since there is too much to do in one day, why not enjoy Operation Blueberry, visit our local attractions one day, and return to the festival for the second day of fun, food, and exciting arts and crafts?
