A long-running Silverton tradition, the Strawberry Festival is a day of family fun in the shady setting of Coolidge-McClaine Park. Usually set for Father's Day, the festival offers sweet local berries served with biscuits and ice cream, all topped with whipped cream—and seconds are free!

In addition to strawberries, the event offers performances by local musical acts and a small arts and crafts fair.

First held in 1951 as a function of the Silverton Hills Community Club, the festival moved to the park in 1995 and has been operated by Homer Davenport Days, Inc. since.

Festival hours are 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Admission is free. Strawberry servings are $5 adults, $3 children and free for children under two and adults over eighty.
