JUNE 13-16, 2012!!!

Since the 1930's, the community of Emmett and all of Gem County has gathered each June to celebrate the abundance of our valley. We celebrate with 'The Emmett Cherry Festival' and it is the regions longest, continually running festival.

The Emmett Cherry Festival is always held during the second full week of June. The traditional Cherry Festival events, concerts and carnival all happen in the Emmett City Park starting on Wednesday through Saturday. Other celebrations and events take place throughout the community during the week of the Emmett Cherry Festival. 

Families gather, friends reunite and over 40,000 folks get together over the four days for the greatest family-friendly event in Idaho!

Of the many, many things that set the Emmett Cherry Festival apart from other events, most notably is the abundance of FREE activities and FAMILY-FRIENDLY activities.

Some of the many free activities include:
No cost to enter, no admission or gate fees
Free entertainment at the Bandshell

Among the many charms of a rural lifestyle is Harvest Time. This important season marks the rewards of a year of hard work preparing, planting, tending, and more tending.

Then comes the Harvest, the bounty, the reward of months of toil. Harvest is celebrated when the region's crops come in. There is feasting drawn form the crops of the season and a sense of relief, relaxation and lots of social gathering to share in the delights of another year's accomplishment.
