Strawberry Festival

I’ll make the short drive to Loxley this weekend for the Strawberry Festival. The festival has arts & crafts, multiple food vendor booths, antique auto show, animal riding and petting exhibits and live music. Of course, strawberry shortcake is still king! The 2006 festival was a record breaker with over 80,000 people in attendance over the two day period. The festival raised approximately $50,000 for its two beneficiaries, . The festival has become one of the largest and is considered by many one of the best organized festivals in the area. In addition to the festival, the Little Miss Strawberry Beauty Pageant is held. Saturday's event hours have been extended to 7:30 PM for the extended celebration of the Town of Loxley's 50th Anniversary. Fireworks will be displayed at dusk that evening near the festival site.
