Owego Strawberry Festival |
The 31st annual Strawberry Festival will be held on Saturday, June 18 2011.
The first was held in 1981, and has since evolved into one of the largest festivals in Central New York State. Each year the festival attracts around 30,000 visitors for a day of good old fashioned fun.
The main festival is on Saturday, however there are events on the preceding Thursday and Friday also. On Thursday night a Wine Tasting event is held downtown. On Friday the Strawberry Festival Block Party kicks in with live music into the evening, followed by fireworks. On Saturday morning, the festival kicks into high gear with a fantastic parade. Marching bands, veterans, local youth groups, dancers, antique cars, firetrucks, motorcycles, horses, local and state dignitaries all join the newly crowned Strawberry Festival Queen marching and riding on colorful floats through Owego - creating a joyful old time experience for the eyes and ears.
After the parade, the festival continues for a fun filled day of delightful Strawberries, Strawberry Delicacies, great entertainment, awesome arts and crafts, and wonderful food and drinks.
Each year the festival gets bigger and better. The 2010 festival is certainly going to be a day of great fun and excitement for all ages which you will not want to miss !
