The 35th annual Texas Blueberry Festival, presented by Tipton Ford, will take place from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., June 14, in historic downtown Nacogdoches. Hosted by the Nacogdoches County Chamber of Commerce, this unique event celebrates the blueberry harvest and highlights the charm and heritage of the oldest town in Texas.

Drawing nearly 20,000 visitors each year, the festival offers a full day of family-friendly activities centered around community, agriculture and the arts. The day begins with a fresh blueberry pancake breakfast followed by the Running of the Blueberries, which includes 1-mile, 5K and 10K races along the scenic Lanana Creek Trail.

Guests can enjoy live music from local performers on multiple stages and explore more than 200 arts and crafts booths featuring handmade goods and local fare. A classic car show, complete with prizes and giveaways, will showcase vintage vehicles from across the region. Families can delight in a lively pet parade and visit vendor booths offering everything from local produce to artisan items.

Shuttle service to nearby farms provides visitors the chance to pick their own blueberries. One of the festival’s signature events, the Blueberry Cupcake Battle, invites local bakers to compete in a sweet showdown benefiting the Family Crisis Center of East Texas.

Admission is free, with some activities requiring a small fee. All proceeds support local community and economic development through the Nacogdoches County Chamber of Commerce.
