FRIDAY NIGHT BLUEGRASS CONCERT KICKS OFF BLUEBERRY FESTIVAL

Date:

NACOGDOCHES, Texas — The Texas Blueberry Festival kicks off Friday night with the Blueberry Bluegrass Concert in the Park, from 6 to 10 p.m. June 10 at Festival Plaza in downtown Nacogdoches.

The concert will also feature food vendors, including some local farmer’s market favorites selling homemade items, as well as catfish, barbecue, snowcones, blueberry lemonade and lots of water.
