Florida Blueberry Festival is May 4-5-6 2012 in Brooksville Florida

The First Annual Florida Blueberry Festival is almost here.Come out and have fun and enjoy the blueberries.

There will be arts and crafts, live entertainment all day, contests, street entertainers,festival fare, gourmet foods, and, of course, blueberries and blueberry shortcakes. There will be a Blueberry Pie Baking Contest and a Pie Baking Contest (non-blueberry), a monster transmission car show, and more.

The 3 Day Festival will be held in the square around the old courthouse. The
Friday Night Parade kicks off at 6:30 and will feature 130 floats with
representation from the 15 counties located in the central blueberry
growing region of Florida. For those who want to party until the
blueberries bloom, the evening will conclude in the City Park with a
Blueberry Wine stomping contest, live music.Check out these links: The schedule of events is full of fun. And For a map of the location.

There will be great entertainment and you can check out the schedule here. 60’s Groove will be there, along with Azmyth, the Blues Brothers, and many more.

Blueberries are so good for you and the latest research says blueberries have been shown to help in the fight against Alzheimer's. They are full of anti-oxidants and fight aging, cancer, and heart desease. So I'm going to the Festival and buy lots of blueberries (you can freeze them).

Make plans to be there sometime during the weekend; the event is free. For more information visit their website at www.floridablueberryfestival.org

The Florida Blueberry Festival sounds like an amazing event, Toni - blueberries are so delish and blueberry shortcake, too - yummy! The berries in our area won't be ready for picking until later in the summer (usually July/Aug) - you are so lucky in beautiful Florida!

(And thanks so much for 'liking' Langley is Green - much appreciated!) - wishing you a wonderful week!

Toni,

We love blueberries and I had no idea that Florida grew blueberries. I always am learning. We get gorgeous blueberries from Oregon and they are large and plump. We grew them here also, and they are really good...Let us know more, and I bet there will some innovative desserts. A

What a wonderful festival! Count me in just for the fresh baked pies, gourmet food and shortcake. When fresh ingredients are used, it is such a world of difference.
