The Whitchurch-Stouffville Strawberry Festival is over 40 years old. Our festival takes place over the Canada Day weekend and is run for the benefit of our community. Our volunteers and sponsors generously donate their time and resources to provide a FREE family festival for the entire community.

​

Beginning in 2025 the festival is enriching its partnership with the Town of Whitchurch Stouffville. The town will be taking on the larger portfolios to help us put on the best festival possible. The town will be helping us by coordinating major portions of the festival such as:

​

• Vendor Acquisition and Placement (our traditional Market Place)

• Evening and Headline entertainment

• All alcohol sales at our pub

• Sponsor Acquisition

• Logistics

• Marketing

​

The volunteer Festival Board of Directors and Committee members are committed to putting on a festival for the community by the community. The Board and Committee will be responsible for coordinating what we are now calling our “Legacy Events” –

​

• The Festival Opening Ceremonies

• The Stouffville Citizen and Sports Person of the year

• The Stouffville Library Spelling Bee

• The Totally Toddlers Baby Contest

• The Gladys Clarkson Stouffville Bakes contest

• The Strawberry Jam Junior – an Open Mic for kids under 12 years of age

• The Pancake Breakfast

• The Picnic in the Park (family games such as 3 legged races, tug-o-wars)

• The Sandy Stronach Red Berry Café with live music by the York Durham Finger Style Guitarists

• The Ecumenical Church Service

• Family Entertainment by local dance schools

• Local Baseball exhibition games

• The annual dog contest

• Fresh Water Stations

• And new in 2025 – a 3 on 3 youth basketball tournament

 

Come and enjoy all of our event including the festival market, live entertainment, the food zone, the pancake breakfast, the Sandy Stronach Red Berry Café and Picnic in the Park.  It’s a weekend where thousands come to participate and enjoy, and it takes place in the heart of Stouffville in Memorial Park.

 

While enjoying the festival - help us with our green initiative – bring your own water bottle and fill-up at the water stations throughout the park and remember to properly recycle at our recycling stations.

 

The festival is made possible by the generosity of our sponsors and is driven by community volunteers and is a celebration of our community. The festival is an event where you can meet your neighbours and make new friends.

 

SEE YOU AT THE FESTIVAL…
