The Warrensburgh Riverfront Farmers’ Market will celebrate the USA’s 250th birthday with a Red, White, and Blueberry Festival on Friday, July 17, under the pavilion at the Warrensburg Recreation Field on Library Avenue. The market will be open 3 – 6 p.m.
This is the seventh year for the Blueberry Festival, which features locally grown early and late varieties of blueberries, organically grown fruits and vegetables, preserves, local honey; blueberry buckles, cakes, muffins, scones and cookies; cheeses and distilled beverages enhanced with blueberries; blueberry wine, and “Blue Loon” blueberry smoothie.
