Huckleberry Festival & Fun Run

If you’ve never visited Wallace, Idaho, the 39th annual Wallace Huckleberry Festival and 5k Fun Run takes place in the historic Silver Valley town this weekend. A celebration of the Idaho state fruit, there will be huckleberry pancakes, food and craft vendors, live music, kids games and events, and plenty of chances to eat and pick huckleberries. The drive to Wallace from Spokane is a little under an hour and a half, so you can make it a day trip, or stay at one of Wallace’s historic hotels, vacation rentals or campsites nearby, and make a weekend out of it. If you’re feeling ambitious, sign up for the 5k Fun Run ($35), and for a complete rundown of the weekend’s happenings, visit the link below.
