Thank you for your interest in participating in the Berry Sweet Summer Festival. This is an annual festival that will be held at the Amador County Fairgrounds. This is a huge event with lots of attractions, activities, entertainment, food, and fun for the whole family. This year we will be hosting two stages with two full bands on each stage playing from morning until evening, wine tasting and beer from well-known and loved Amador County Wineries, and crafted beer from local breweries. There will be a car show with great cars from the ages displayed, a kids zone that will feature a petting zoo, train rides, carnival games and rides along with face painters, balloon twisters, a little magic, soft play for our younger patrons (under 6 years of age) along with great food stands, trucks, gourmet foods that bake and produce all things berries!! With artisans/crafters and vintage/anitques there will be something for everyone. Additional activities will include competition for the best Berry Dessert and the berry pie eating contests! Win great prizes and bragging rights for your recipe or your appetite!
Every year we do a lot of marketing for this event and bring in over 10,000 people to shop and eat. We enjoy working hard to create and manage such a successful event, and to make sure we do that again this year we need your help!
