Boasting 79 years of family fun with a parade, festival market, evening street dance and more.

Pre-festival activities begin on Thursday evening with the Cranberry Queen coronation. Local events continue Friday morning with the Cranberry Kitchen contest and run throughout the day with local high-school volleyball and football games.
