What’s one month long, fun for all ages, and blue all over? Keel Farms Blueberry Festival.

Celebrate sweet Florida-grown blueberries, local bizes, and summer on the horizon every Saturday and Sunday in April (with the exception of Easter Sunday) at this free blueberry bananza.

Here are all the ways to have a berry good time:

  • Pick your own fresh blueberries (while supplies last)
  • Enter a Blueberry shortcake eating contest
  • Make some furry friends at the petting zoo
  • Go for a camel ride
  • Shop local vendors and all kinds of blueberry goods
  • Sip exclusive seasonal releases of fruit wine + cider from Keel and Curley Winery
  • Catch live music
  • Let your little ones run wild at the kids zones featuring fun + engaging activities

Free festival entry and $10 parking means everyone can get in on the blueberry goodness.

Keel Farms is family-run, committed to quality, sustainability, and community. If you can’t make the festival, the farm is open seven days a week for tours, wine tastings, and dining.
