Activities for July 21-22, 2012
Our cherry celebration is an adventure with activities for the entire family. Farms offer many varieties of fresh-picked and u-pick cherries, wines, lavender, jams and other cherry treats. Many farms feature picnic areas.
In addition to the orchard-fresh fruit available all along the Loop, some Fruit Loop farms
serve up special activities or attractions for Cherry Days. Admission to most Fruit Loop farms and attractions is free,
and most are open from at least 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. (some have shorter or longer hours).
There is free parking, too.
