Enjoy The Celebration of Cranberries

October 6th – 7th, 2012
Cranberry Fest has something for everyone – arts and crafts, cranberry food sales, a bakery, entertainment, Cranberry Fest Souveniers, fitness events and more.

With more than 40,000 people attending the festival annually, this event is one of the highlights of the fall season in Eagle River.

While you are at Cranberry Fest, check out the food tent where you will find soups, cranberry brats, char-broiled chicken sandwiches and much more. Then visit the Information Headquarters tent where you can purchase fresh cranberry bakery goods and event souvenirs. Don’t forget to save room for our famous World’s Largest Cranberry Cheesecake and support the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

How about taking home some fresh locally grown cranberries or craisins? Approximately 10,000 pounds of premium select cranberries will be sold during the festival event. Cookbooks are also available to learn new and unique ways to use cranberries.
