Cherry Blossom Festival - The Cherry Blossom Festival is held every year in May. This festival is held down town and at the park where vendors, live music, food, and carnival games bring people from over the area to our small town. Cherry Blossom also boasts a large car show. Come check out the Cherry Blossom festival!
Trunk-or-Treat - Every Halloween night the City of Cherryvale holds this event, which started as a small outing and a way for kids to have a safe and fun way to trick-or-treat. What once started as a small outing has morphed into one of the largest Trunk-or-Treat events in Southeast Kansas. With people coming from miles and towns away to participate, this event boats over 75 trunks, and that doesn't include the local businesses and churches that also line the streets to participate. The event spans both sides of almost 4 city blocks where our small little town doubles in size for one evening to fun! Trophies are handed out for various categories of trunks.
