Welcome to Marysville Strawberry Festival 2016
Honored Traditions, Future Visions

85th Anniversary

Welcome to the 85th annual Marysville Strawberry Festival. Our Festival is really about celebrating the wonderful community of Marysville and the extraordinary people, who live, work and play here. My wife, Joyce and I are excited to be a part of this grand annual event and we hope you will join us.

This years' theme is Honored Traditions, Future Visions. Our theme reflects upon our successful traditions over the past 85 years and the people who brought us to where we are today. These people include our honored royalty and our honored past presidents as well as our honored former board members and civic leaders who grew the Strawberry Festival into the success we are today. From our humble beginnings of a one-day parade 85 years ago, we have blossomed into a week-long, fun packed family oriented community celebration. And while we reflect upon our honored past, we also look to the future of our festival and the many possibilities for the years yet to come.

The Strawberry Festival begins with Kids Day Party in the Park and our annual Berry Run. Our traditional Fashion Show really is a must-see event. I guarantee it will entertain and inspire everyone who attends. Be sure to visit our spectacular Market Place where you can experience shopping and dining while listening to live music. For the adults, you won't want to miss the Beer Garden hosted by our own Marysville Kiwanis Club. Kids of all ages will be thrilled by our Carnival rides. During the week you can view awesome automobiles at The Car Show which is adjacent to the Market Place. And, of course our Strawberry Shortcake Eating Contest really can't be missed. The Festival concludes on Saturday evening with our grand parade followed immediately by a spectacular fireworks show.

Joyce and I would like to personally extend to you and your families an invitation to join with us the third week of June, here in Marysville; we look upon your family as our family. So come join the party!

Warm regards to all our festival friends old and new.
