August 24, 2024

Bringing you “all things blackberry” the annual Blackberry Festival, produced by the Bremerton Rotary, is August  31 – September 2 on the Bremerton Boardwalk and 2nd Street. Offering over 15 blackberry themed food items, music, kids entertainment and activities, blackberry wine and jam. Located on the beautiful Bremerton Boardwalk just steps from the Seattle Ferry and the Port of Bremerton Marina, visit the fountains, USS Tuner Joy, and sit on our berry steps to enjoy a wide variety of music. 

The family fun area on 2nd Street called, "Berry Way", grows again this year. The Berry Way stage on 2nd Street is filled with Kevin Wolfe comedy magic, and MZ. Pearl circus fun. Joining Berry Way will be Galileo’s Wood Fired Pizza, Italian sodas, McDonalds, face painting, and pottery art. You can also check out the new “chalk plaza” that will have chalk supplies and Kitsap CREATE stem display and play located between the Kitsap Conference Center and the Hampton Inn.

All proceeds of the festival go to support the local community through the Bremerton Rotary including scholarships, a free dictionary program, and service projects. Be sure to go to the Berry Central Booth to purchase your limited-edition Blackberry Festival t-shirt, wine and now blackberry JAM!
