The Cherry Festival and Fair is right around the corner. The Morongo Band of Mission Indians recently donated $300,000 to the Cherries of the Pass Foundation to support the 2026 Cherry Festival and Fair, reinforcing the Tribe’s continuing commitment to the Pass community.
Set for four days at the end of May 2026, the Cherry Festival and Fair has become a cherished Southern California tradition that celebrates the agricultural heritage of the San Gorgonio Pass while bringing together families, small businesses and visitors from across Riverside County and beyond. Proceeds support community programming, scholarships and local nonprofit initiatives.
“Morongo is delighted to support the Cherry Festival and Fair again this year and the hard work of the Cherries of the Pass Foundation to stage this wonderful celebration of our region’s history,” said Morongo Tribal Chairman Charles Martin. “We are honored to support events that bring our local communities together and help strengthen local traditions.”…
