More than 100 crafters, vendors and food trucks are expected to take part this year at the St. Stephen’s Strawberry Festival in Heathsville. This is a free-one day festival held rain or shine. The lineup of festivities draws 5,000 attendees and includes craft exhibitors and vendors selling handmade goods, homemade strawberry shortcake, a plant sale with hundreds of native plants at low prices, a bake sale, local strawberry sales, live music, children’s activities, face-painting, a strawberry boutique and bargains at the St. Stephen’s Thrift Shop. Each year, church volunteers bake 1,300 homemade strawberry shortcakes and sell 1,000 quarts of fresh, local strawberries. Proceeds from the festival support various local nonprofit organizations. The festival is on the grounds of St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church located at 6807 Northumberland Highway (Route 360) in the center of Heathsville. Parking and admission are free.
