Festival Details and Events

This festival in early May has deep roots in the local community, with a history dating back to the 1860s. By the 1880s, the festival gained the name "Fruit Day" to acknowledge the city's harvests and show neighboring communities their products. In 1939, the community added a band festival. Today, it is the state's largest community-run school music competition and features national bands, orchestras and choirs. 

You will find many events to attend, including:

  • Bowling tournament fundraiser
  • Cluster Duck concert
  • Blossom in the Park Craft Fair and Kidz Zone
  • Parade featuring marching bands, floats, cars and horses
  • 5K Runblossom fun run
  • High school band, choir and orchestra performances
  • Blossom Pageant

This unique festival has something for everyone. Listen to talented musicians, compete for a cash prize in the bowling tournament or grab food and crafts at the fair. Whatever you do, you will have five days packed with fun.
