The 36th Texas Blueberry Festival presented by Tipton Ford is turning up the music and cooling things down with an exciting new addition, the Texas Folklife Blueberry Jam sponsored by Motorhomes of Texas. This new attraction will be one of many blueberry-delicious events happening on the second Saturday in June in downtown Nacogdoches.
Festival goers are invited to step inside the comfort of air-conditioned Mast Hall in the 300 block on E. Main St. on Saturday, June 13, for an afternoon filled with live entertainment, culture and blueberry-season fun. The Blueberry Jam will feature a lively lineup of performers showcasing the sounds and traditions that make Texas unique.
Running throughout the afternoon until 4 p.m., this indoor blueberry jam offers the perfect place to relax, cool off and enjoy entertainment while still being part of the excitement of the Texas Blueberry Festival. Adding even more sweet incentives, Ferrara’s Berry Sweet Shoppe will remain open throughout the afternoon inside Mast Hall, giving guests the opportunity to enjoy blueberry treats, specialty sweets and festival favorites while relaxing and taking in the entertainment.
The Blueberry Jam adds a fresh new layer to the festival, and it is free to attend and open to all festival guests. Make plans to stop by Mast Hall in historic downtown Nacogdoches on June 13 and enjoy this NEW festival event.
