Two of Utah’s favorite things come together every August: sweet, juicy raspberries, and thick ice cream shakes. At the Bear Lake Raspberry Days Festival, you’ll enjoy both, along with entertainment and activities on the shores of the beautiful lake.

Garden City is one of Utah's most beautiful towns. Located on the banks of Bear Lake, it's home to around 500 people, but during the summer, thousands come to visit.

This area is famous for its sweet raspberries, and the berries are ripe for the picking by the the end of July. The town celebrates the harvest every year with a fun festival - Bear Lake Raspberry Days. This year's festival runs August 5th through the 7th.
