SCOTT TOWNSHIP, LACKAWANNA CO. (WOLF) \u2014 As Lakeland Orchard and Cidery\u2019s monthlong Blues, Brews, & BBQ Festival wraps up this weekend, the seasonal attraction is turning its attention to another late-summer festival, Blooms & Berries.<\/p>\n
Blues, Brews, & BBQ<\/a> runs through Sunday, July 26. The festival features barbecue selections, local beer, live bluegrass music, lumberjack competitions and pick-your-own blueberries while supplies last.<\/p>\n Blooms & Berries festival<\/a> begins Thursday, July 30, and runs through Aug. 30. The festival will feature pick-your-own blackberries and raspberries, along with cut-your-own flowers, a butterfly garden, rides, attractions and live music on weekends.<\/p>\n The orchard had already begun offering sunflower picking to the public nearly a week ahead of the festival\u2019s official opening.<\/p>\n Tracy Carey, assistant general manager of Lakeland Orchard and Cidery, said each festival brings a different mix of activities, food and entertainment to the property, keeping the experience fresh for returning visitors.<\/p>\n \u201cSo our next festival is Blooms and Berries, which will feature our butterfly house. We\u2019ll also have sunflower and zinnia picking, which is always a great time. We see a lot of beautiful flowers floating around throughout the orchard. I think the community really embraces having a family-run business like this,\u201d said Carey.<\/p>\n Blooms & Berries will also include rotating seasonal foods and a tasting passport featuring festival-specific items. A charity dunk tank is planned for Aug. 8 and 9, with proceeds benefiting a local food pantry, and a craft event featuring vendors is scheduled for Aug. 22.<\/p>\n Lakeland Orchard and Cidery\u2019s summer festivals are part of a broader 2026 lineup of seasonal events<\/a>. Earlier offerings included the Tulip Festival, Baby Animal Days and the Strawberry Festival. The Apple Harvest Festival and Halloween Light Show are scheduled for later this year.<\/p>\n
