Cape St. Claire Set To Host Annual Strawberry Festival

It’s not summer in the Cape until the Broadneck peninsula community has celebrated its annual Strawberry Festival, this year slated for June 7. A beloved tradition for over six decades, the free event draws thousands of attendees to the area for a parade and festival at the community beach.

The parade will step off from the Cape St. Claire Volunteer Fire Department at 10:00am and proceed down Cape St. Claire Road to River Bay Road and conclude at the main Cape beach. There, festival-goers can enjoy a full day of live music performances, kids’ activities, a silent auction, moon bounces, face-painting, a petting zoo, a variety of food, a beer garden and more.

Attendees can discover one-of-a-kind finds as they shop the creative wares of dozens of art and craft vendors. And, of course, as the name suggests, there will be plenty of strawberries to enjoy! Strawberry treats will be available for purchase in the Cape clubhouse.

The festival will take place at 1223 River Bay Road in Annapolis and will conclude at 7:00pm. Parking is limited but a shuttle is available. A rain date is scheduled for June 8. For more information, or to plan a visit to the Strawberry Festival, go to www.cscstrawberryfestival.com.
