A celebration of Maine’s wild blueberry heritage, the fifth annual Wild Blueberry Weekend will be held on August 2-3, 2025. More than a harvest, it’s a celebration of land, heritage, and community, supporting Maine growers and local food. The lowbush wild blueberry is one of only a few fruits native to North America and thrives in the thin glacial soils and harsh northern climate of Maine. The Wabanaki Nations were the first to care for the barrens and developed traditional land management practices that are still in use today. Created by the Wild Blueberry Commission of Maine, this statewide event brings residents and visitors directly to working wild blueberry farms throughout the state, many of which have been family-run for generations. Dozens of farms across the state will offer scenic tours, raking demonstrations, pints of freshly picked berries, handmade goods, and the chance to meet the faces behind the food.
