Tonight!

CEDARBURG - The smell of strawberry bratwurst will fill the air June 24-25 for the 32nd annual Cedarburg Strawberry Festival.

But why strawberries?

“Why not?” asked BJ Homayouni, executive director of Festivals of Cedarburg, Inc. She said the festival “has to do with what was available in the area in June.”

Homayouni said Cedar Creek Winery’s owner’s wife was an artist and they chose to start the wine and harvest festival to pull art and wine together. Down the line, they invited a local farmer who grew strawberries and the strawberry festival was born and has grown into the biggest in Cedarburg with around 100,000 visitors each year.

“Strawberries speak summer,” Homayouni said. “It’s the first big event in the area in summer. We don’t have blueberries around here, just strawberries.”

The event will be held from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., June 24 and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., June 25 on Washington Avenue in historic downtown Cedarburg. Artwork ranging from paintings to jewelry, ceramics and woodwork will be available for purchase from hundreds of artists.
