The 2020 huckleberry festival has been cancelled

It is with heavy hearts that The Donnelly Area Chamber of Commerce has decided to cancel this year’s Huckleberry Festival. We want to thank all of you who participated in meetings and/or shared your input concerning the 2020 Huckleberry Festival. The decision was incredibly difficult to make, however, we felt it would be almost impossible to follow Central District Health’s protocols for a festival that typically sees 8,000 to 10,000 people visiting Donnelly in a single weekend. We knew that whatever decision was made some people/businesses would be happy and some upset, and we are truly sorry for that. This situation does not create a win for anyone unless it keeps the spread of COVID at bay.

We would all like to keep the spirit of Huckleberry Festival alive and well, so if you would participate at the business level and decorate your store front so that the community is purple during the month of August that would be awesome! In addition, we are working on plans to promote Donnelly later in the year when things have calmed!

Enjoy this beautiful weather in our little slice of paradise. Be safe. Be kind.
