Bellevue Blueberry Festival

The fourth annual Lake Hills Blueberry Festival is set for 9:30am to 1pm at Lake Hills Elementary School. This year's Blueberry Festival will feature a free blueberry waffle breakfast from 9:30-10:30am followed by free family activities including:

• Live music, games, arts and crafts, face painting and a visit from "Balloon Buffoon"
• Assistance and information about a variety of human services programs from local providers
• Interactive demonstrations and a tour to help children and families learn the ins and outs of riding a school bus for the first time
• Visits from Bellevue police and firefighters
• "Blueberry Lane" where art, produce and blueberry pie will be available for purchase

In addition, Lake Hills Elementary teachers will be available from 10-11:30am to meet with students and their families. Visitors are also encouraged to take a short walk to the neighboring Jubilee REACH Center (14200 SE 13th Pl.) to shop a yard sale and participate in a raffle for free back-to-school haircuts. Elementary-school students can receive a free dental screening from an on-site dental van. 

Parking is limited, so visitors are encouraged to walk, ride the bus or carpool. The event is cosponsored by the City of Bellevue, Bellevue School District, United Way of King County, Lake Hills Neighborhood Association, and Jubilee REACH Center.
