However, the centerpiece of the festival is clearly the blackberry itself, as the many booths that hem the festival together will reveal. From delicious blackberry ice cream to baked goods that seem fresh from the oven, any lover of blackberries will be able to find something they enjoy.

For adults, the highlight may be the blackberry wine, considered a delicacy of the region.

However, due to the high demand experienced by every blackberry wine booth at the festival, there is a tendency for vendors to sell out of bottles quickly.
