The sweet yet slightly sour little blueberry comes ripe in Indiana late June through mid August. Hoosiers love this berry like they love their corn. It becomes the flavor of the summer, from pies to beer and everything in between. Hoosiers love it so much that for the past 52 years there has been a fourday festival dedicated to all things blueberry.

Hoosier artisans have committed to this fruitful ingredient and here we list some of the most unique eats around the state that are worth the trip. And make plans to attend the Marshall County Blueberry Festival over Labor Day Weekend. Find out more about it at www.BlueberryFestival.org
