💙🫐 A Huge Thank You to Our Municipality Staff! 🫐💙

The 44th Sioux Lookout Blueberry Festival would not have been possible without the incredible support and hard work of the Municipality of Sioux Lookout staff.

From helping with logistics to maintaining our parks, facilities, equipment, and festival spaces, so much work happens behind the scenes to keep 10 days of Blueberry Festival activities running smoothly. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who contributed their time, effort, and expertise to help make this year’s festival a success.

Please join us in recognizing the amazing municipal staff who supported the 44th Blueberry Festival! 👏💙
