There is continuous music and entertainment from 10 in the morning until 8 in the evening. They also have a pie eating contest and special contests for out of town guests only. You could win a lot of money. Saturday evening at 6 pm there is a "Missed" Blueberry pageant that you would really enjoy. It is the comedy event of the weekend. A dance is held each evening from Thursday thru to Sunday. A giant fireworks display on Sunday signals the end of the festival followed by a dance. Saturday's dance is a street dance that is held for approximately 1500 people. Tickets are sold on the afternoon of the dance but go very fast. Usually sold out within 15 minutes. You won't be disappointed if you go, only if you miss it!!!

Mountainmary,

Western Brook boat tours seem to be pretty busy at the moment. If you plan on taking one you may want to make reservations about 2 days in advance.
The boat leaves at 10:00; 1:00 and 4:00 pm.
