Bala is celebrating it’s 25th anniversary for the Cranberry Festival. This weekend long event is filled with Cranberry filled fun for the family! Be sure to head over to Bala and learn some amazing facts about Cranberries and taste some amazing foods prepared with Cranberries! The Bala Cranberry Festival will make you an informed cranberry connoisseur so the next time you site down with your friends and have a Cranberry cocktail you can amaze them with everything you have learned at the Bala Cranberry Festival! I have added the festival schedule below
