Blueberry festivals are very rare, but they can also be very popular when they come around. There are a number of such large-scale festivals in Europe and America, although none seem to have a consistency in dates at this time.

Three of the most famous blueberry festivals around the continents would include:

  • The Annual Blueberry Festival in Kentucky (America)
  • The National Blueberry Festival in Michigan (America)
  • The Scandinavian Blueberry Festival in Norway (Europe)

Two of the above three are from America, but that doesn’t imply that such festivals are not in favor in Europe. In fact, blueberry festivals are among the most important in the UK.

  • The Annual Blueberry Festival in Kentucky
