Valley residents and visitors come together every year to celebrate this bountiful raspberry harvest at Bear Lake Raspberry Days.

A Thursday parade kicks off Raspberry Days filled with floats, marching bands, antique cars, drill teams, and more. The participants in the parade usually have bags of candy and beads, which are thrown into the crowds as they make their way down the parade route.

After the parade, people flock to the Fair, held at Heritage Park in Garden City. The Fair has craft booths, rides for kids, food vendors, and live music all day long. Other activities may include Bingo, a 5k fun run, and a golf scramble.

The Boat Light Parade on Bear Lake, which begins at Blue Water Beach and ends at Bear Lake State Park Marina. At this parade, boats are decorated with lights, and it’s definitely a sight to see! Raspberry Days is capped off with a round of fireworks best viewed from Heritage Park.
