Strawberry Fest

Our biggest event of the year —
The Annual Cape Elizabeth Strawberry Festival!

The Cape Farm Alliance’s annual Strawberry Festival Weekend is a wonderful celebration of local food, farming, art, music and more. This two-day event is always the fourth weekend of June – when the strawberries are ripe!  This year the dates are June 23rd and 24th.

We begin the weekend on Friday night with a lobster bake and local pig roast, hosted by Shady Oak Farm, and sponsored by many generous neighbors and businesses. The dinner features live music, local beer and wine, a silent auction, and a fabulous strawberry dessert! This event pulls in a crowd of over 150 patrons each year. Tickets for this very popular dinner are required and always sell out. They’re available at Alewive’s Brook Farm and at Jordan’s Farm Market on Wells Rd. Come by and grab your tickets along with fresh Maine food for your supper too!  If you’re not local, you can buy tickets online.
