Join Our Community

The Berlin Heights Basket Festival proudly celebrates its 50th year—a milestone honoring our community’s rich tradition of basket making and small‑town spirit. This beloved family festival features pageants for all ages, including our Queen’s Court, Prince and Princess, Little Miss and Little Master, baby contests, and Senior King and Queen.

Kids will enjoy a variety of fun activities such as the kiddie tractor pull, die‑cast car races, dodgeball, and many more exciting games. Festivalgoers can also experience a beautiful flower show, the “It’s a Small Town” themed baking contest, children’s eating contests, cornhole tournaments, and additional attractions throughout the weekend.

Enjoy performances by the Charger Marching Band and cheerleaders, and don’t miss the phenomenal car show at Biltz Automotive on Saturday morning. The Grand Parade steps off at 1:30 PM on Saturday, followed by a tractor show. Our open market will showcase a wide variety of vendors, and delicious food options will line the Midway.

Friday night will feature a spectacular fireworks show in honor of our 50th anniversary. The festival also includes a 5K Race sponsored by Quarry Hill Orchards, along with local organizations offering crafts, games, and live entertainment both evenings. Local hometown favorites Lance and Chip will take the stage Friday night, and the Fleetwood Mac tribute band Rumors will headline Saturday night.

Join us as we celebrate 50 years of tradition, community, and fun on the first full weekend in August!
