Vineland Daily Journal on this weekends’ Red, White and Blueberry Festival happening about 800 yards from my house!
Just call it a little bit of Americana — with a few million blueberries thrown in for good measure.
The 23rd annual Red, White and Blueberry Festival in Hammonton, sponsored by the Greater Hammonton Chamber of Commerce, will be held from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday on the grounds of Hammonton High School at Old Forks Road and the White Horse Pike.
The family-friendly event combines a celebration of Hammonton’s number one crop and the Fourth of July.
“The combination has worked for over two decades,” said festival chairman John Runfolo. “We tweak it every year, but the basic formula is great food, blueberry specialties, live music, strolling entertainers, classic cars, arts and crafts, and a family atmosphere — and it’s free.”
First held in 1987, the festival has continued to grow in both size and stature, becoming one of the most popular summertime events in greater Atlantic County.
Highlights will include live music from The Nudies, and Kayla Calabrese and Riverside Drive. DJ Nicky G will spin music throughout the day.
