Sandy Spring Museum Announces it Will Not Hold Annual Strawberry Festival

Sandy Spring Museum (17901 Bentley Rd) has announced that it will not be holding its annual Strawberry Festival in 2024. The museum began hosting the event back in 1981.

Sandy Spring Museum will hold a town hall on Wednesday, February 28 at 7pm to discuss the future of the event.
“Sandy Spring Museum, which has hosted the popular Strawberry Festival since 1981, has announced that it is taking a year off. We are asking for your help in rethinking the festival and coming up with ideas for a 2025 festival that serves the community, fulfills the museum’s mission, and is right-sized for staff and volunteer capacity. The community town hall meeting will be held on Wednesday, February 28 at 7 pm to discuss the future of the festival. If you want to give input or just share your memories about attending the festival, please join us.”

The Strawberry Festival is described as a giant block party, picnic, neighborhood gathering, and community celebration all rolled into two days of outdoor, family-friendly fun, featuring live music, food truck’s, and the “world’s greatest strawberry shortcake.”
