Huckleberry Heritage Festival 2009
in Historic Wallace Idaho

Jump to Link Table


Huckleberry Heritage Festival, August 15-16, 2008 On August 20 and 21, 2010, the Wallace Chamber of Commerce will sponsor the town's traditional "third weekend in August" festival. Originally called the Huckleberry Festival, it spent a year or two as the Heritage Festival, and is now known as the Huckleberry Heritage Festival... or HuckFest for short. Each year it includes a blend of familiar and new events according to the desires of the unique band of volunteers who step forward in the spring to coordinate this major summer festival. In 2009, there is robust feast of events spread out for the enjoyment of everyone in your family. Festival hours are 10 AM to 9 PM on Friday and Saturday. These hours have been expanded from previous years to accommodate evening street music.

Except for the form, nothing below this point has been edited for 2010.

New Events in 2009

  • Bicycle Sprint Races
    around a five block course through historic downtown Wallace for prize money! These "Criterium" races covering all ability levels will take place in the afternoon. Racers must at one point deaccelerate, make a sharp turn around a cone, reverse direction and accelerate again. These frantic races are crowd pleasers as the prize money will draw road racers from all over the Inland Northwest.
  • Bicycle Hill Climb
    for those who want to prove themselves by racing 3 miles uphill to Dobson Pass from the fishing pond at the end of Nine Mile Creek.
  • These events are Fund Raisers for the Friends of the Coeur d'Alene Trails, a not-for-profit Idaho organization dedicated to the promotion and development of all regional bicycle trails. For more information about these racing events (called an "Omnium" when done together), see their 2009 Bicycle Events page.
