The annual Strawberry Festival will be held May 13 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in nearby Wartrace.

The Wartrace Strawberry Festival is the annual celebration of spring and all things strawberry set in Historic Downtown Wartrace.

“We host a variety of vendors selling their arts & crafts, baked goods, decor, boutique clothing, pottery, canned goods, produce, handmade items, direct sales products, and each booth will have something strawberry-themed,” organizers revealed. “There will be a Kids’ Zone, food trucks, frozen treats, strawberry lemonade, and we will have fresh strawberries for sale from local farmers in surrounding areas (while they last). Wear a strawberry costume to join the Strawberry Parade and be sure to enter the Strawberry Bake-Off Contest for the chance to win a prize.”
