The biggest festival around is the Whitesbog Blueberry Festival, which takes place Saturday from 10 to 4pm at Historic Whitesbog Village in Browns Mills, NJ (Pemberton Township). Specifically for children, there will be an “outrageously messy blueberry pie-eating contest” as well as music and other entertainment. Or if you are looking for something a bit more low-key, head out to Princeton’s Terhune Orchards. This pick your own farm is having their Blueberry Bash Saturday and Sunday from 10:00 am - 5:00pm. You can pick your own blueberries, take a wagon ride, pony ride, and taste various blueberry treats or even enter you own blueberry recipe into the juried Blueberry Bash Bake-off!
