Berry Heritage Festival

Annual Berry Heritage Festival a success

The Berry Heritage Festival took place on Friday and Saturday, bringing the community together for a weekend full of excitement. Vendors filled Heritage Park, selling everything from handmade crafts and trinkets to delicious treats. Kids had a blast bouncing in the inflatable house, riding carnival rides, and playing with adorable baby goats. On Friday night, Brandon Malone and The Whiskey Over Ice Band kept the crowd entertained and on their feet with live music. Saturday morning kicked off with a car show, where classic and custom vehicles were on full display for attendees to admire.

The Berry Heritage Festival was a huge success, with a large crowd attending on Friday night, before the rains dampened the event a bit on Saturday. The Heritage Festival was the first big “post COVID-19 pandemic” event held in the Fayette County area. Berry Mayor Jimmy Madison said that everyone appeared to have a good time at the event. He said that hopefully, the event will be the start of a “return to normalcy,” not only in Fayette County, but also in the United States and the rest of the world.
