American Strawberry Festivals


Across much of the USA, May is strawberry festival time. These local events celebrate American strawberry harvests with a variety of products and exhibits.

Local festivals usually include sales of food and drink, educational displays, music, and other activities. 

Strawberries are a good example of a locally sourced food that is nutritious, sustainable, and widely available.

Strawberries have a short season and an extremely short shelf life after picking. Excess strawberries can be shared with friends, frozen or made into jams, jellies, and preserves.
