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.

City of Stories is a fundraiser supporting the Meridian Library District and celebrating the powerful role libraries play in our lives. This year’s theme, Rooted in Stories, honors how stories take root in our communities—nurturing connection, growth, and a sense of belonging. Like plants, stories need care, space to grow, and strong roots—and for many, the Meridian Library is that nurturing place.

Join us for an evening of storytelling, food, and creative bouquet making in book-shaped vases as we celebrate how libraries keep us rooted in community.

City of Stories is a hybrid celebration featuring a ticketed storytelling event on Thursday, September 25 at the historic Tolleth House & Garden in Downtown Meridian, and an online auction running September 22–27. Proceeds will support the launch of MOBI (Mobile Outreach Bus of Ideas)—a Sprinter van transformed into a mobile library that will bring a variety of programs directly to the community at parks, schools, senior centers, and more.

Additionally, the Meridian Library District will offer Rooted in Stories–themed programming throughout the week to celebrate how libraries help us grow, connect, and thrive.

Celebrate stories. Grow community. Support library access for all.

We end the season with Elevator Operator, whose indie stylings and lyrical introspection pair perfectly with a fading sun and the hush of fall.
