Community Calendar

Each August, Donnelly comes alive with the sweet scent of summer and the unmistakable spirit of small-town celebration during the annual Huckleberry Festival. This beloved tradition brings together locals and visitors to honor the iconic wild berry that dots our surrounding hillsides.

For years, the festival has been a highlight of the season, offering a full weekend of fun for all ages. Visitors can enjoy a vibrant parade down Main Street, browse artisan vendor booths, and sample an irresistible array of huckleberry treats.

The festivities also include live music, a community breakfast, a spirited fun run, kids’ games and activities, and plenty of opportunities to connect with friends old and new. The Huckleberry Festival is the perfect way to celebrate what makes our community so special.
