Admission is free, so come enjoy the entertainment and a selection of free activities, other activities and foods available for ticket-based purchase. Check out the 2018 booth listing and ticket prices. ($1=1 ticket).

Since 2005, we've been chopping berries, painting signs, spearing juicy lemons with spicy peppermint sticks, enjoying fantastic local artists, and creating a strawberry-filled day each year where everyone can be a kid again.

Activity/Food tickets and merchandise purchases can be made online in advance.They will be available for pick-up the day of the festival at WIll Call (no standing in line waiting to pay!) or on Thursday, May 3 from 3-5 at the school (724 Foster Street).

All funds raised at The Strawberry Festival support Central Park School for Children's Monarch Fund, which cultivates paths of access for students at our school. It supports offerings of transportation, nutrition, after-school care, club/camp/field trip scholarships, and technology equipment.

A free shuttle will be running 11-3 from Park & Ride lots available off of Morris Street. See the Parking Map for details on location of where & where not to park.
