This year's cherry Festival sucked! The worst ever!!! Parking & new location of the festival was a disaster! Parking lot was full so we had to drive back out of Festival to drive a couple of miles to another location for a 45 minute shuttle ride from the sports park back to the Cherry Festival. Shuttle driver passed Festival entrance twice then drove through neighborhoods before we finally were able to drive into the Cherry Festival and let off the shuttle. Hardly any rides including no ferris wheel. No other attractions to enjoy. Where were the Cherries? Also, not enough food vendor options and prices were OUTRAGEOUS & food wasn't good at all!!!! $5 for 1 street taco, RIDICULOUS!!! Nightly bands/music was so loud during our entire visit. We were not only unable to communicate with each other but vendors also complained that it was difficult to hear us as we made purchases or place food orders. Main stage shouldn't face directly towards vendor area. Placement of the main stage and vendors need to be reorganized. This year's cherry Festival was a bust!!! Don't waste your time.

Layout was very confusing, parking was messy and we were lied to about the cutoff for spots (as we walked from our extremely far parking space, we kept finding clusters of open parking spots!).

We have a toddler and there were absolutely no clean quiet changing areas! We left after just 2.5 hours because we couldn't change our child's diaper. With 4 stalls in each bathroom, you would expect the accessible stall would come with a changing station, but no, neither the men's nor the women's room came with one!

Buy far the worst of the worst! This whole thing is the biggest ripoff ever! Everything there is 10 or 20 bucks. For that price you get 99 cent stuffed toys. Sip drinks are about 8 oz. Typical carnival atmosphere except it’s so expensive I spent 100 bucks in a hour. Then the kids were bored thank goodness! I’ll never go back!

The Cherry Festival was great the music was great the vendors were terrific there was lots of them and a good combination there were a few too many like they had four funnel cake people there and I tried all four and the best one that I like personally was little Benny's kettle corn big red trailer their funnel cake was great and their pretzels they also had Kettle corns and different flavors and my favorite is the caramel and the Tutti Frutti. The only drawback is I wish they would hold this event at the larger park across the street from Beaumont High School much more room you're not so crowded in with people because there was literally hundreds of people that were there and if they had the vendors a little bit further apart than it wouldn't be so congested where the food court is. The people that put this event on should really consider trying to get the bigger part other than that it was a wonderful weekend I enjoyed myself and there was plenty of food including cherries.

I thought there would be a cherry fest with pies, cherries to pick, the only offer was to buy a bag of store bought cherries for $20, I was told it has to be below 40 degrees to grow cherries in Beaumont & it doesn't get that cold any more, the cherry orchards no longer exist it was an unexpected disappointment to me, a mini swap meet, food trucks, parking free, admission to get in the mini fest cost,😭
