Blueberry Art Festival

  • Ely, MN 1600 East Sheridan Street Ely, MN, 55731 United States (map)

We are excited to announce the 42nd annual Blueberry Art Festival slated for July 26-28, 2024.  Each year, the event draws 30,000 to 40,000 festival-goers across the three-day event.  The festival features over 200 artists and crafters, 25 food vendors, a beer garden, and freshly baked blueberry pies. 

We have many returning artists, crafters, makers, and exciting new ones.  You will find it at this year's festival if you are looking for watercolor or acrylic art, pottery, woodcraft, or something unique or unusual.  We mentioned food.  Those sumptuous blueberry pies and delicious burgers, brats, and pork chops are back on a stick.  Of course, there is seafood, kettle corn, and refreshing beverages - did we mention waffles too?

We need to mention our Operation Blueberry event happening in our business community.  Operation Blueberry runs from July 25 to July 28. Watch for the Operation Blueberry map, which we will post on Friday, July 19, 2024.   

Since there is too much to do in one day, why not enjoy Operation Blueberry and visit our local attractions one day and return to the festival for the second day of fun, food, and exciting arts and crafts?
