North Carolina 2024 Strawberry Festivals - Where, When and More Details!
North Carolina
- Central Park School for Children Strawberry Festival - Saturday,
in early May from 11 am to 3 pm; always the first or second Saturday in May (May 7, 2022)
Old North Durham Park, 724
Foster Street, Durham, NC. The Strawberry Festival is a family-fun
community event in Durham, NC. It's held at the park behind our
elementary school building in downtown Durham. For more than a decade,
we've been chopping berries, painting signs, spearing juicy lemons with
spicy peppermint sticks, enjoying fantastic local artists, and creating
a strawberry-filled day each year where everyone can be a kid again. The
Strawberry Festival supports Central Park School for Children's Monarch
Fund, which cultivates paths of opportunity for all students at our
school. It supports access to transportation, nutrition, after-school
care, club/camp/field trip scholarships, and technology equipment.
Additionally, this Fund supports CPSC's leadership in economic
diversity. We were the first charter school in the Southeast to
establish an economically weighted lottery system for enrollment. We are
creating a supportive economic diversity initiative toolkit for use by
other schools. (ADDED: April 18, 2017, JBS)

know that our school, Central Park School for Children, located in
Downtown Durham, NC hosts an annual Strawberry Festival (this is our
14th year), that is attended by may triangle area families (usually
4,000-5,000 people come out). It is always held on the first Saturday in
