The 25th Annual Huckleberry Days Art Festival runs August 8-10 in Whitefish, Montana.
Xavier Flory, writer for the Flathead Beacon writes about the festival:
Celebrating Summer with Art and Huckleberries
Whitefish celebrates its 25th annual Huckleberry Days Art Festival this weekend with artist vendors from all over the Northwest, a cornucopia of food and an annual bakeoff featuring the event’s namesake fruit….
Like huckleberries, which are a nostalgic symbol referenced in “Moon River,” Huckleberry Days are much more than a showcase of the fruit; the festival is a celebration of summer and artistic talent. Well over 100 artists will come to the festival with paintings, miniature bears hewn out of Glacier evergreens and countless photos and trinkets. Although the festival attracts artists from all over the Northwest – this year there is even someone coming from New York – Stewart says many of the artists, particularly the photographers, take inspiration from Montana’s beautiful landscapes….
The huckleberry festival also features the Huckleberry Days Bake-off Contest, vendors selling huckleberry products and entertainment for the kids.

Sounds like lots of fun …. and good eating!!
