Blackberry pies and live music at Mt Shasta
Spend Sunday of Labor Day weekend at Shastice Park with local bands, craft vendors, kids’ games, and the famous blackberry pie sale.
Event details
The Mt. Shasta Blackberry Music Festival returns to Shastice Park on Sunday, September 6, 2026, from 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM, bringing local bands, vendors, and small-town summer energy under the shadow of the mountain. Because it sits on the heart of Labor Day weekend, it often feels like a community send-off to the season, with travelers mixing easily among long-time locals.
The signature detail is the blackberry pie sale, and the uncommon tip is to treat it like a limited release. If pie is your priority, arrive early, go straight to the sale line, and plan your shopping lap after you have secured what you came for. Bring a tote and consider bringing cash as a backup, since park events can get spotty with payment connectivity when crowds spike.
Shastice Park is best enjoyed as a shade-and-wander afternoon. Claim a patch under the trees, then rotate through music, craft booths, and food without feeling like you have to camp at one stage. Pack a picnic blanket and a light jacket for late afternoon, since temperatures can cool quickly once the sun drops behind the tree line.
Turn the festival into a lake-and-mountain mini trip by adding an easy water outing nearby. A loop walk around Lake Siskiyou or a short paddle is a perfect morning warm-up before the noon start, and it gives you the classic Mt. Shasta reflection views that make the whole weekend feel bigger than a single park event.
