This event attracts thousands of fans from all over to enjoy a family fun day and to bring awareness about Habitat for Humanity of Marion County.
The festival will have bands, entertainment, a pie eating contest, over 200 vendors (to include arts & crafts, business, non-profit, farmers market, and food vendors throughout the event), sponsor booths, a kids’ area, a food court, a car show, a petting zoo, and lots of strawberries.

Habitat for Humanity host this event each year so our community and guests can enjoy a day filled with joy and happiness for the entire family. All proceeds benefit the Habitat Home Ownership program to build another Habitat home which will be called the Strawberry House. This program gives low-income families the opportunity of homeownership with affordable mortgage payments.
