Our new food court will feature hot dogs, pizza, popcorn and more!  Food and beverages will be available for an additional modest charge.

We’ll have Strawberry Festival raffles, face painting, and games for the kids, The historic 375-year-old Deane Winthrop House will be open that day for guided tours. Music is courtesy of John Polino who will trade sets with Kristen & Richie of Sunset Studios Boston. There will be a large tent to protect everyone from the weather and porta-potties for everyone’s convenience.

Please leave your pets at home. We love our furry friends, but the Festival is not pet-friendly. Thank you for understanding.

We could not have a Strawberry Festival without the help of our Sponsors. All our Sponsors will be honored with signage in the yard at the event. We would like to especially thank Webster First Federal Credit Union for their tremendous support; the Paul W. Marks Company for donating delicious strawberries and fresh cream; and the Winthrop Marketplace for donating fabulous biscuits.
