It’s estimated that around 200,000 people are said to have attended the Marshall County Blueberry Festival despite the rise in COVID-19 cases.

The fest took place during the long Labor Day weekend.

The large attendance was a relief for the vendors and non-profit organizations that depend on the festival for money, according to 95.3 MNC’s reporting partners at ABC 57.

It’s expected that the Blueberry Festival will return for Labor Day Weekend in 2022.
