The Festival is a unique, traditional celebration to promote the strawberry harvest. Enthusiastic volunteers collectively, with the support of a proud community and the State of West Virginia, work throughout the year planning and organizing to provide a variety of creative, good, family style entertainment that offers exciting educational and cultural events for everyone.
