The story

Ely Blueberry Art Festival in Ely

Ely Blueberry Art Festival pairs fresh blueberries and local recipes with a market of growers, makers, and artists presenting the summer harvest. Family contests and music run alongside the market route through town, tying the blueberry theme to a broader celebration of local craft and food.

You walk into town and the whole place feels a little lighter: people lingering under canvas booths, hands full of prints and pottery, the sun catching glasswork while someone ahead debates which piece will fit in the car.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

What distinguishes this festival is its dual identity: blueberries anchor the tasting side of the day, with local recipes turning the fruit into treats you can smell before you see them, while a genuine art market of growers, makers, and artists runs in parallel rather than as an afterthought

02

The mystery stays covered

Family contests and music keep the day social, and the market route through town ties the whole event to Ely's actual streets rather than a single fenced fairground

03

The city starts moving

That mix of food, craft, and place is what gives the festival its lasting appeal
