About the BlackBerry Festival
McLoud Blackberry Festival takes place each year at the Veterans Park Event Grounds in McLoud, Oklahoma. The festival began in the 1940s as a celebration of the end of blackberry harvest season. The McLoud Blackberry Festival is one of Oklahoma’s oldest continually running festivals. In 1949, President Harry Truman declared McLoud to be the “Blackberry Capital of the World”.
McLoud Blackberry Festival is a family-friendly and fun-filled event featuring many attractions for the attendees. The festival features treats like blackberry jam, blackberry cobbler, blackberry fried pies, funnel cakes, food trucks that have at least one blackberry item on the menu, and lots of farm-fresh blackberries. The Blackberry Fest also includes craft vendors, a parade through downtown, live music, pageants, contests, fireworks, and more. In 2024, the two-day McLoud Blackberry Festival will take place on Friday, July 12 and Saturday, July 13.
