As this 2026 summer season rolls along, many outdoor events are beginning to take shape, and farms around the capital region are preparing for their own event. These farms are of course harvesting multiple types of crops, but one specific fruit is at the front of everyone's attention. Community members are welcome to go support their local farmers at one of many upcoming blueberry festivals. These events will have plenty of blueberry products, blueberry themed activities, and plenty more for local residents to enjoy. Depending on where you live, there may be a few of these festivals located not far from your home.
