Who’s ready to eat some strawberries? The Baldwin County Strawberry Festival is taking place this weekend on April 8 & April 9 from 9am to 5pm both days.
The much-anticipated festival is a local tradition held annually at Loxley Municipal Park. Every year, visitors join us from all around the Southeast to enjoy the special events, car shows, music, crafts and, of course, the strawberry shortcakes!
The tradition began in 1987 and over the years, it has grown from a few craft and food vendors to hosting over 180 arts and craft exhibitors, a dozen different food vendors, a carnival, children’s games, an antique auto show, exhibits and live music. And, of course, strawberry shortcake is still the main attraction.
Each year, the festival raises over $48,000 for its two beneficiaries: Loxley Elementary School and the ARC Baldwin County. The festival has become one of the largest of its kind and is considered by many to be one of the best organized festivals in the area.
All you need to know about this tasty festival including vendors, entertainment and more can be found on The Baldwin Strawberry Festival website.
Happy strawberry-ing!
