strawberry-shortcakeEvery June the Town Green in front of the Orange Congregational Church sees a flurry of activity with crafters, musicians, artists and of course strawberry shortcake during the annual Strawberry Festival.

The festival is one of the most anticipated and well attended events in town, so popular that this year it is moving from the Green to the Orange Fairgrounds, 525 Orange Center Road, where there is more space to allow for a better layout and easier navigation between the vendors, entertainment and dining areas.

The 2013 Strawberry Festival is scheduled for Saturday, June 8 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

In the past, the festival has attracted about 3,000 guests, and with this bigger venue, organizers are expecting much larger crowd

Fresh Strawberry Shortcake

The sun was shining, Al deCant was singing, children were smiling, hoops were hula-ing and strawberry-rhubarb pies were selling out as fast as people could buy them at the annual Orange Strawberry Festival.

Everyone seemed to have a wonderful time as you can see in this video and everyone is already looking forward to next year’s festival!

Good times, good food, good weather!
