What's red and red and red all over? It can only be one thing: the Troy Strawberry Festival. In its early years, the Troy Strawberry Festival hosted just a few booths. Now visitors can peruse more than 270 arts and crafts vendors, along with entertainment, contests, children's activities and of course, food!

Close to 200,000 people attend this family-friendly event in Miami County. If you happen to miss the strawberries painted on the streets leading to the festival, you won't be able to drive past the pink fountain in the town square without a second glance. Get all the details on this famous June festival filled with local strawberries and community pride.
