Emmett Cherry Festival

“What a lovely day and time this afternoon! Today is the first day, and there was a solid amount of folks enjoying perfect weather. Not overcrowded today. Our first time visiting and we were so surprised how perfectly laid out what would normally seem like a decent sized park have SO MUCH going on! And the cherries at the cherry stand....fantastic! We asked for a cup to spit our pits, and they said...just enjoy and spit 'em out! Only "complaint" is the price for rides is steep. They should have a junior unlimited band that costs less for just the little kiddo rides. Thank you Emmett for a great display of what makes this country great!”

“Enjoyed the car show. Very crowded and limited parking. Difficult to access for someone with a walker. Restrooms? We did pick up some cherries and fruit at a farm store heading out of town. Wear a hat. Bring water.”

“Went to the festival today. There were a ton of cars. Only saw one booth selling hot dogs and hamburgers. They sold kettle corn too. It was pretty hot but nice in the park with some trees.”

“Very cool! Not as many cars as there used to be, and some people think their everyday driver deserves a spot in the show. Not too impressive, but the shops were fun”

“Good family event. Love the cherries! Carnival rides are a little spendy, but the kids love them!”

“We got a great corndog at my first Cherry Festival. The festival was lacking something.... uh......Cherries! Cherries were sold out early( We left by 2pm) and I mistakenly thought there would be lots of cherry products. I bought a cherry pie that was sad, it tasted like canned filling. There were lots of booths with lousy imported cheap toys, just junk! There were also some boost with nice things, but they were few and far between. One and done for me!”

“Not what we expected. Thought it was about cherries and picking them and hand made and crafted vendors but wasnt it was more stream linded vendors and just cherry cups. More of a city fair/ carnival and the ride were so expensive. 6$for one ride pp.”

“I came to visit my friends, we’re really looking forward to this event. I come from Las Vegas. Why would you have a cherry festival that ends at 10 PM? We are here at five and there’s no more cherries that makes no sense. Hence now I understand why this is a 4.3 out of five festival. I gave you a two because there’s a better way at trying to sell your cherries maybe periodically throughout the day to different people that show up later. I’m very very disappointed”
