What you need to know
The Marshall County Blueberry Festival packs Plymouth's Centennial Park for four Labor Day-weekend days (September 4-7, 2026) — a hot-air balloon launch, one of Indiana's largest parades, a big arts-and-crafts show, a carnival, fireworks and blueberry everything. It's a Northern Indiana institution and a huge draw. For RV travelers, Potato Creek State Park near North Liberty has a full campground about 25 minutes northwest, with a lake, trails and beach for the off hours, making an easy basecamp for one of the Midwest's marquee end-of-summer festivals.

Safety + legal
Big Labor Day crowds and warm late-summer afternoons — hydrate, and the balloon launches and fireworks draw dense parking, so stage the rig at camp and shuttle/rideshare in.
Insider tip
Potato Creek State Park (North Liberty, ~25 min NW) is the nearest state-park RV base — lake, beach and trails for the downtime between festival days.
