The Annual St. Stephen's Strawberry Festival Cancelled for 2021

The 2021 Strawberry Festival will be replaced with a Labor Day Saturday Homecoming Festival!

We are saddened to have to cancel the festival this year. The sticking point was the number of people who come from far and wide to attend the Strawberry Festival. It is unlikely that the restrictions on gathering size will be lifted soon enough to allow the normal festival crowd of thousands to gather before the end of May. And, in any event, it would be difficult to limit the number of people on the grounds at any one time, even if we extended the hours. 

Although we won’t be hosting vendors on the lawn on Memorial Day weekend, we are hoping to sell bulk strawberries and homemade strawberry shortcakes on a smaller scale, and hold a bake sale and small plant sale. We want to keep the annual event date in everyone’s mind in anticipation of resuming the normal Strawberry Festival in 2022!
