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.

This ongoing class is designed for entry-level and experienced students alike, looking for more practice time on the pottery wheel. Experienced clay instructor, Casey Gurr, will offer guided, small-group instruction for anyone interested in learning the basics of throwing on the pottery wheel. More advanced students are welcome to use this time to practice what they already know and try new tricks! After creating about 1-3 pieces, we will dry and fire their pieces for them. Most pieces are ready for pickup in 2-3 weeks.

Ceramics teach a number of valuable skills, including perseverance, patience, problem solving, and creativity! Bring your kiddos in to come play on the clay wheel and learn how to use this fun tool to create functional and decorative pieces, or join in on the fun and make some ceramic pieces of your own! The whole family is welcome!

The zoo will be open afterhours for adults (21+) only! Explore and enjoy zoo experiences at your own pace. Live music, Giraffe Encounter, special animal experiences and chats, free carousel rides, and more! Beer, wine, cider, non-alcoholic beverages, and food will be available for purchase.
