Delaplane Strawberry Festival Recap
Posted by Chris | Filed under Appalachian Trail, Pictures, State Parks
This past weekend Courtney and I headed down to Sky Meadows State Park for the Delaplane Strawberry Festival. It turned out to be an absolutely beautiful day out and a perfect day to eat some strawberries!
The festival featured the National Strawberry Eating Contest, lots of food vendors, all sorts of craft vendors and tents set up with goods for sale, games for kids, and more. Below are some pictures and a short (~15 second) video of the bagpipe band from Winchester that was there.
Even though it went to a good cause (Emmanuel Church) I still feel like $20 per car was a bit pricey to charge as entrance, especially for those of us who just came with two people (like us). If it was a family of 5 or bigger group, then the flat rate was worth it. I’d like to see a per person charge up to a certain number of people. I think that would even attract more people being more affordable. But, still, the parking “lot” was packed with tons of cars – so congrats on a great success for the 16th annual festival.
Delaplane Strawberry Festival this weekend!

Just a quick note – I’ll be heading to the Delaplane Strawberry Festival this weekend. The festival is taking place at the Sky Meadows State Park download Comebacks, The .
With things on the agenda like children’s games, live entertainment, hayrides, crafts, puppet shows and raffles, you don’t want to miss out. Oh, and I better not forget the National Strawberry Eating Championship offering an amatuer and professional round. View the full list of activities on their website.
Hopefully we’ll come home with some good pictures, videos, and maybe a story or two. The weather for the weekend looks good during the days so it should be a great time.
It’s a bit pricey in my opinion to get in – $20 per car for a one day pass (it runs Saturday and Sunday) – so it better be worth it and not rain! Get the full low down on the festival at the Delaplane Strawberry Festival website!
