Beaumont Cherry Festival

This is the infamous cherry festival. But there's only one problem. There is not one cherry in this whole area. No one sells cherry's, there's no cherry pie. There's no cherry lemonade. They're not advertising cherry nothing there is literally no cherries. This is a over charged swap meet. Not impressed

Nice family outing to enjoy on a Saturday afternoon. Vendors, lots of food for every age category. Even this 12 year old palate is enjoying herself. Head on out. Only 1 day left.

Lots of fun! No cherries tho. It was a small town fair. I visited a friend that lives in Beaumont and she took me to the Cherry Festival. It's definitely local, good family fun.

Expected a lot more cherries at the cherry festival, turns out there's no cherries in sight no cherry lemonade, no cherry pie, not even a cherry on top of some sundaes I saw floating around. Actually I take that back I was able to secure a small ziplock bag from the local high school cheerleading group. In reality it's just an overpriced carnival with bunk carnival food!

I came mostly to see Jodee Messina perform this evening. The show was great! Now for the festival itself, parking was a hot mess but I managed to get a spot on the large grassy area now deemed a parking lot. The food - mostly fast food concessions with the funnel cake stand being the most popular and longest line. I ordered some tater tots and beef chili from a not so busy vendor. It was pretty tasty - crunchy tots and flavorful chili. Despite being called the Cherry Festival, I didn't see much cherry wares - some pre-made slices of pie - but no punnets of fresh cherries etc. This festival looked more like a mini-local fair, which is great for groups and large families wanting to go out and have some family fun. Plenty of covered seating under the big tents. One child got separated from their parent and the event team were working overtime to get them to their parent. Overall, it was an underwhelming festival with the lack of cherry goods. Only great part was the show towards the end of the night.

So overly pricey. Can't believe how expense everything is in this place. To walk in 4 people $50. Once your in, gotta pay per band. Starts at $17, that's like 3 rides. To throw 3 balls is $10 dollars. Just walking n I'm at 100 dollars. Crazy.

This was the year of the 100th cherry Festival. I figured I had to go seeing as I graduated high school on the occurrence of the 50th cherry Festival. The Cherry Festival was a little Small Town Event. All the usual sell this and that Barker's that we're pushing their products all religions or events leading to the Midway with a nice collection of rides that kept all the people screaming for more as they purchase their tickets and got thrown around in these rides. Great fun for that age group. Additionally all the balloon popping sharpshooting and other games of skill and luck we're spread around the Midway so that you could win that big fluffy teddy bear. All in all a nice little small town event. I liked the Historical Society and their pictures of a Time long gone by. It was a fun weekend. Thank you Cherry Festival

It feels like a movie set. Don't expect cherries since the name comes from the area it's in. It's very expensive, so either eat before or expect to spend money since it's fair food. It's very expensive for the rides but the tallest one is worth it!

My family and I enjoy the Cherry Festival every year, Always Great Professional Entertainment with a variety of music. Food, Booths and rides re great also. We will miss Brenton Wood this year!!!!

They need to rename this fair for what it is--a local city fair. We spoke with the only booth that had cherries and he stated that all of the cherry groves have been cut out and removed of Beaumont, so there aren't any growers to bring cherries in. He brings from his own personal three acre property, and was a very nice gentleman, but said he won't be doing it much longer. Once he's gone, it doesn't seem that there will be any local cherries available at this "Cherry Festival".
