Event Details:
Florida is known for its warm climate, sandy beaches, and theme parks. However, during the summer months, the state’s agricultural communities come alive with the delicious and nutritious blueberry season. One of the most significant celebrations of this crop is the Wellborn Blueberry Festival.
The festival is held annually in Wellborn, Florida, a small community located in Suwannee County, just a short drive from the Georgia border. The festival takes place in the town’s historic district and is a celebration of all things blueberry. The event started in 1994 and has since grown in popularity, attracting visitors from all over the state and beyond.
The 2023 Wellborn Blueberry Festival usually takes place on June 3 when the blueberry season is in full swing. The festival features a wide range of activities, including a blueberry pancake breakfast, live music, and a parade. There are also vendors selling blueberry-related products, such as jams, jellies, and pies.
The Wellborn Blueberry Festival is not just about fun and games; it also supports the local community. The festival is run by volunteers, and all proceeds go to support local charities and organizations. The festival provides an opportunity for local farmers to showcase their blueberries and sell their produce to visitors.
Start your day with a $5 blueberry pancake breakfast, available at three locations – the Wellborn Baptist Church, behind the Fire Station near the country store, and the Wellborn Community Association Center – from 7 to 10 a.m.
