The Carolina Strawberry Festival is the premier festival for the town of Wallace each May. It was held annually for years, but was suspended during WWII. The festival has been back now since 2011- better than ever and ran through 2019. Unfortunately, the 2020 and 2021 Carolina Strawberry Festivals were cancelled because of Covid -19. The festival is back as a modern event- complete with food and c

raft vendors, Beer & Wine Garden, VIP Seating for concerts, Little Miss Strawberry Pageant, performances by local dance and music groups, and favorite musical performers. Events fill Downtown Wallace from Main Street to the Wallace Train Depot, our local shops offer specials. There is no admission charge to the festival itself or to the concert area at the Wallace Train Depot! Ed's Disosaurs Live! will be performing, bands will be playing, food vendors will be open and the Beer & Wine Garden will be open. Saturday boasts a full schedule of events - including the Little Miss Strawberry Pageant and local performers. Look for great vendors up and down the streets, strawberry ice cream and more! The music cranks up in the late afternoon and you can spend the evening dancing the night away ! For more information visit our web page at www.carolinastrawberryfestival.com

๐Ÿ“ Meet the Team Behind the Festival ๐Ÿ“

Our committee is made up entirely of volunteers who give their time, energy, and ideas throughout the year to make this event something special for everyone. From planning and organizing to the behind-the-scenes details, it truly takes a team. And weโ€™ve got a good one!

While the festival may be over for now, we donโ€™t stay away for long. Weโ€™ll be back to work and meeting again starting in June to begin planning for next year!
