Strawberry Stage Events & Performances

The Strawberry Stage sits at the intersection of Main and Acacia and is home to one of the festival’s most beloved traditions — FREE strawberry cake on Friday at 6:00 pm.

Arrive early, as thousands gather for the annual cake tradition, where everyone receives a slice.
