About Us
Who we are & why we do this…
The Annual St. Agatha StrawberryFest is held every 3rd Saturday in June at the St. Agatha Community Center from 8am - 4pm. With emphasis on locally grown strawberries, the event offers a wide variety of activities to appeal to all ages including a breakfast, lunch, live entertainment, competitions and games for all ages.
Our small but mighty committee meets once a month throughout the year to organize and run this event for the benefit of the community.Through this festival, we strive to promote local & healthy eating, St. Agatha’s surrounding businesses, and family-community spirit.
