2024 Blueberry Festivals in Canada - Where, When and More to Find a Blueberry Festival Near You!

Canada

Blueberries typically ripen from July to August in the most areas of Canada. And then there are saskatoons (a.k. juneberries) which as similar to blueberries.

There are two general types of blueberry festivals 1) community festivals, usually organized by a church, school, local Chamber of commerce or a town and 2). Blueberry festival held at and by a farm. They are different in what they offer, and community festivals tend to be less expensive so they are grouped separately. (of course not all states and areas have both.)
