Cedarburg’s Strawberry Festival 2024

Per the Strawberry Festival website, The Festivals of Cedarburg Board is excited to announce Strawberry Festival will take place on June 22 & 23, 2024.  The Lake Country Family Fun family attended Cedarburg’s Winter Festival in February 2022 and it did not disappoint. This is a great little road trip to such a cute town!

The Festivals of Cedarburg Board is looking forward to all the usual favorites this summer. It will be an annual celebration of the fruit of the season located in downtown Historic Cedarburg.  At this annual event, you can enjoy everything strawberry, from strawberry shortcake to strawberry wine.  Festival goers can stroll along our historic main street and find that perfect treasure at our arts and crafts fairs called “Art on the Avenue.”  Don’t miss the live music stages all over town.  There is so much to do: unique shopping, children’s activities, demonstrations, fun-filled contests, festival food and much more.  Strawberry Festival is a fun-filled festival for the whole family.

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE YOU GO:

LEAVE YOUR PETS HOME

As much as we love pets (and we DO!) they are NOT allowed on the Festivals Grounds! It can get crowded, there’s not a lot of grass, they could get stepped on or into something, some people are scared of them….and they probably don’t want to be there anyway! Plus there is an ordinance against them! (Cedarburg, WI, Sec.7-14-1, Festivals Celebration Permit: Prohibition of Animals) So please – leave your pets at home where they’re safe and comfortable!

​

PLEASE, NO CARRY-INS

We have plenty of places for you to find delightful beverages – some of which can be consumed on the streets during Festival hours (beer and wine) and some of which must be consumed inside our bars and restaurants (hard alcohol, high ABV beers). We appreciate your cooperation!​

​

LIMITED PARKING IS AVAILABLE

Cedarburg is 20 minutes north of Milwaukee.  Parking is available at Firemen’s Park (north of the grounds with hayride transportation to the Festival area), at the American Legion, at the Cedarburg High School and there is street parking throughout Cedarburg.  Handicapped  parking is available along Hanover Street, and motorcycle parking is available on Cleveland Street.
