After a two-year hiatus, the annual festival is back and gearing up to be better than ever! Ever since the first festival in 1982, the event has served as a place of community gathering for generations, where attendees can spend their day enjoying live performances from multiple stages, pony rides, games and as much strawberry shortcake as their heart desires. The local family-favorite boasts something for everyone and welcomes individuals of all ages to partake in the festivities, from local craftspeople showcasing their unique creations to gardening booths and of course, delicious strawberries enjoyed in a variety of ways.
“We’re so excited to welcome everyone back. This event is part festival, part community reunion. It’s amazing that an event this large still feels like an old-fashioned, small-town party.” – Allison Weiss, Sandy Spring Museum, Executive Director
