Snack on some berries, enjoy tunes
June 15, 2009
The sun is out once again, and that means that Pacific Lutheran University is gearing up for the annual berry festivals, held in Eastvold Red Square in the heart of campus. All of the berry festivals are open to the public, and all are welcome.
One berry festival will be held during the months of June, July and August, and each will feature different northwest fruits. All of the berries are locally grown and organic.
The Strawberry Festival will kick off the summer on June 17. Returning entertainers The Islanders and Bill Robinson will take the stage, providing authentic calypso and reggae music to bring a tropical tone to the event.
July 15 will bring the Raspberry Festival to Red Square. Guests can enjoy refreshing raspberries while The Afrodisiacs offer a festive family atmosphere with their 70’s disco music.
Rounding out the festivals will be the Blueberry Festival on August 5. Fresh berries will be available while Lance Buller and The Monarchs bring their swing to the stage with their 1950’s big band style.
All of the berry festivals will begin at 11:30 a.m. and will end at 1 p.m. Berry treats are free with a valid PLU I.D. card, and will cost $2.50 for those without. For more information, visit the PLU Office of Summer Sessions at www.plu.edu/~summer/programs-events/home.html.
