The 11th annual Mount Dora Blueberry Festival heads back to Central Florida for a fruitful weekend of fresh treats, entertainment, a blueberry pie-eating contest and more.

This year’s can’t-miss event for Sunshine State fruit lovers hits Mount Dora’s Donnelly Park on Saturday and Sunday, coinciding with the height of blueberry season.

Attendees can purchase fresh-picked berries, dive into a pancake breakfast (served until noon), try blueberry wine and beer, soak up live music and even try for a coveted award while stuffing themselves silly in the pie-eating throwdown.

Competitors in said throwdown have the chance to win an official Mount Dora Blueberry Festival T-shirt and, yes, a fresh-baked blueberry pie. Irony is delicious!

Saturday-Sunday, April 26-27, Donnelly Park, Mount Dora, free.
