The 40th Annual Strawberry Festival is this Saturday, June 21st, at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Niagara-on-the-Lake. With free admission, this is a Niagara Region staple summer event to attend with your family, friends, and loved ones. 

Each year, we visit the Strawberry Festival for the deliciously homemade desserts, made with local strawberries. Not to mention the jams, and other creations. Local vendors are also usually in attendance, and we’re surprised by new things each year. Our favourite thing to bring home though, is the fresh and homemade strawberry pie, which is a HOT commodity. 

Here’s a couple key tips from us (NOTL locals): 

• Arrive early: All of the good stuff sells out quickly (which is everything). So, if you’re going with the intention of bringing home fresh strawberries and baked goods, arrive at the beginning (9:00AM). 

• Bring cash: In our experience attending over the years, the vendors only accept cash. You have to line up to get tickets for most of your purchases, so come prepared with cash in hand. 

This festival is truly a great way to kick start the summer, and enjoy one of the first fruits in season for the year. See you there!
