The much-anticipated Hockinson Blueberry Festival will be back on Saturday, July 18th, bringing together farm-fresh blueberries, local businesses, music, and community spirit. Hosted by the Hockinson Main Street Team and the Hockinson School District, this annual event showcases the bounty of Hockinson’s blueberry farms and the rural charm of its small-town roots.
Organizers will also unveil a new addition: A giant, 16-ft diameter inflatable blueberry that will serve as a landmark for attendees.
