Wisconsin’s 24th Annual Strawberry Festival will take place on Saturday, June 27 from 10-6 and Sunday, June 28 from 10-5 in historic Cedarburg, Wisconsin, just 20 minutes north of Milwaukee. Over 100,000 people visited the Strawberry Festival last year.
Fresh home-grown strawberries are the cause behind the family-oriented celebrations. Enjoy strawberry pancakes, strawberry wine, strawberry shortcake, strawberry pie, strawberry crepes, strawberry slush, strawberry schaum torte, chocolate-covered strawberries and strawberry ice cream.
Washington Avenue is closed to traffic to make way for several art fairs, the 9th Annual Plein Air Painting Competition, and an art auction which includes works from the competition. Cedarburg’s nine block Historic District is on the National Register of Historic Places with unique restaurants and charming shops.
Music will be in the air, featuring top forty, bluegrass and rock and roll. There will also be strawberry contests (strawberry shortcake eating, strawberry bubblegum blowing and the berry bob) and a festival kid’s corner including a paintable mural, kids performance stage, magicians, clowns and face painting.
If that’s not enough, join in the Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Ozaukee County’s “Berry Big” 5K Run/Walk/Roll. Board a tractor hayride shuttle to visit the Marketplace for shopping or tour Historic Cedarburg .
