A Year-round Celebration

Berry’s seasonal highlights begin with its autumn extravaganza, the Berry Show. It’s not only a celebration of the harvest season but also a nod to the region’s agricultural heritage. Livestock pavilions, equestrian events, and vintage farm displays make this event a favourite among locals and tourists alike.

Winter in Berry brings with it the magic of cooler days, perfect for the town’s renowned musical events and wine tastings. The Berry Jazz Festival is a standout, filling the crisp air with smooth tunes and providing a sensory feast of local wines and gourmet food.

As the spring blooms, the Berry Gardens Festival is a spectacle not to be missed. This event offers the rare opportunity to stroll through some of Berry’s most beautiful private gardens, opened to the public exclusively for this event. The burst of flowers, the aroma of fresh blossoms, and the stunning landscapes are a testament to the town’s love for horticulture.

Summertime is when Berry truly shines with the Berry Merry Christmas, featuring a street parade, market stalls, and an authentic community Christmas spirit. It’s a festive season where the whole town is decked out in holiday finery, and joy is palpable in the air.

Culinary Delights and Artisan Crafts

Food enthusiasts will revel in Berry’s gastronomic offerings throughout the year. The Berry Country Fair and the various food festivals focused on seasonal produce like berries, seafood, and dairy showcase local ingredients at their peak. These festivals provide an interactive experience with cooking demonstrations, taste-testing, and the opportunity to meet the producers themselves.

For those with a keen eye for craftsmanship, Berry’s artisan markets and themed craft fairs present goods ranging from homemade preserves to handcrafted furniture. These events are a true celebration of the creativity and skill that thrives in Berry.
