The story

Marshall County Blueberry Festival in Plymouth

The Marshall County Blueberry Festival is a four-day Labor Day weekend event in Centennial Park in Plymouth, Indiana, with more than fifty years of history. The festival features over 300 craft, commercial, and food vendors, blueberry-themed treats, sporting events, and a large parade, and serves as a major annual fundraiser for local nonprofit organizations.

Plymouth, Indiana, the seat of Marshall County, sits in a part of northern Indiana where blueberry farming became locally significant enough to anchor a community festival now in its sixth decade.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The sheer range of blueberry-specific programming sets this festival apart, from a competitive Blueberry Stomp 5K and 15K run to a Blueberry Splash open-water swim across Myers Lake, alongside more conventional festival fare like pie and ice cream

02

The mystery stays covered

Festivalgoers reportedly consume roughly 50,000 blueberry donuts over the four days, a detail organizers point to as a measure of the event's scale

03

The city starts moving

The Hoosier Old Wheels Antique Car Show, hot air balloon launches, and a bike cruise with routes up to 62 miles add variety well beyond food, while the festival's role as a fundraising engine for numerous local nonprofits gives the community celebration a direct civic purpose
