Festival Information

BerryFest Strawberry Festival

BerryFest returns as one of Northern California’s favorite Mother’s Day weekend traditions—bigger, livelier, and more thoughtfully designed for families than ever before. What began as a strawberry celebration has grown into a full-scale community festival, blending classic fair fun, local flavor, and entertainment made for moms, kids, and everyone in between.

Guests can enjoy the return of longtime favorites, including the Classic Car Show, Arts & Crafts shopping, a vibrant Farmers Market, and more than 40 food vendors serving fair favorites and strawberry-inspired treats. The Kids Carnival brings rides and games, while live bands, entertainers, puppeteers, comedians, and the Little Miss Strawberry Pageant fill multiple stages throughout the grounds. Families can also enjoy pony rides, a petting zoo, cooking demonstrations, selfie spots, slot car racing, and a relaxing Mom’s Retreat designed just for moms.

New this year, BerryFest expands with exciting additions like the high-energy Berry Jam Monster Truck Show, Amazing Animal World inside the Expo Building, expanded indoor shopping in Waite Hall, a new Marionette Stage, added comedy shows, and the colorful Raspberry Parade popping up throughout the festival. The beloved Strawberry Pancake Breakfast and Mom of the Year Award also return, making BerryFest the perfect way to celebrate Mom.

Held annually on Mother’s Day weekend, BerryFest offers something for every family—big enough to excite, yet welcoming enough to feel like home. 🍓
