Blueberry Festival

Greater Sudbury is known for its wild blueberries. What other way to celebrate this unique feature then holding a week- long Blueberry Festival?

I attended the 'Blueberry Bash' at Market Square and what a bash it was. Hundreds of people filled the Market Square grounds to participate in the festivities. The most popular part of the Blueberry Bash was the blueberry pancakes. I jumped in line to get my hands on some of those fabulous pancakes. They were absolutely delicious. They served the pancakes with this amazing blueberry syrup. A couple of us tried to get the recipe but we were told it was a secret.

The front stage at Market Square was filled with performers. They started the morning off with Sudbury Zumba Dance. The crowd was right into it, participating in this fitness craze. As the day went on more performers took the stage.

They had free wagon rides, face painting and a clown on sight for the children. The day was absolutely perfect and it looked like everyone had a great time.
