City of Creighton

BerryPepper Capital of America

What is a BerryPepper? The BerryPepper is a "frozen concoction" that combines the taste of strawberry with Dr. Pepper soda to create a delicious summertime snack. Originally created in 1968 by then swimming pool manager Biff Warren, the BerryPepper has since been a favorite snack for visitors to the pool. BerryPeppers are available at the pool throughout the summer, and at many downtown businesses during the annual BerryPepper Days Celebration.

Creighton's Annual Celebration, BerryPepper Days, are held the 3rd full weekend in June each summer. Visitors to the celebration take part in a road rally, legion baseball tournament, free swimming, ice cream social, a family day in the park rib-fest, grand parade, kiddie parade, road rally, fly-in breakfast, VFW breakfast and the Legion chicken feed. Saturday night join us for our annual street dance on Main Street. On Sunday you can start your day with a community worship service at the legion baseball field. Many new events are added each year. BerryPepper Days are hosted by the Creighton Area Chamber of Commerce.
