SUMMARY:Strawberry Festival & Craft Show
DESCRIPTION:Berry Sweet Family Fun Awaits at the Strawberry Festival & Craft Show brings two days of strawberries\, food trucks\, live music\, and family activities to the North Stonington Fairgrounds as the region shifts into summer festival season. The event transforms the fairgrounds into a celebration of all things strawberry\, from classic strawberry shortcake to chocolate-covered strawberries and fresh strawberry lemonade served throughout the weekend.

Organizers are also planning live music performances and ongoing family-friendly activities across both days of the festival\, creating the kind of atmosphere where people tend to stay longer than they originally planned. The mix of fairground energy\, seasonal treats\, and outdoor entertainment gives the event an unmistakably New England small-town festival feel. \nThe Strawberry Festival & Craft Show takes place Saturday\, May 30 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sunday\, May 31 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the North Stonington Fairgrounds on Wyassup Road. With food trucks\, live entertainment\, shopping\, and strawberry-themed treats spread across the grounds\, the event offers an easy excuse to spend an afternoon outdoors celebrating the unofficial start of summer in southeastern Connecticut. \nRules and Suggestions:\n• Admission to the festival is free\n• The event takes place outdoors at the North Stonington Fairgrounds\n• Food trucks\, vendors\, and live music will be available throughout the weekend\n• Family-friendly activities are planned across both event days \n
