St. Isidore Strawberry Festival 2011 Schedule

If its primary ingredients are strawberries, chances are it can be found at the St. Isidore Strawberry Festival.

Ringing in summer with its celebration of all things strawberry, the annual festival will take place June 24-26 at on 23 Mile Road. The festival will include namesake eats such as strawberry shortcakes, milkshakes, sundaes and pies, as well as nightly entertainment, sit-down dinners and, new this year, a pie-eating contest.
