Description:

From 31st annual Baldwin County Strawberry Festival Website:

The Baldwin County Strawberry Festival began in 1987 as a result of a united effort between the ARC Baldwin County and the Loxley Elementary School. Over the years, it has grown from a few craft and food vendors to hosting over 180 arts and craft exhibitors, a dozen different food vendors, an exciting carnival, fun children's games, an antique auto show, exhibits and live music. And, of course, strawberry shortcake is still king!

In 1996, the festival date changed from the first Saturday in May to the present date, the second weekend in April. The festival was originally held in downtown Loxley, but in 1999 moved to its present location at the Loxley Municipal Park. This grassy, spacious location has allowed the festival to grow expand to include many more activities that had been limited by other sites. It also permitted the festival to extend into a two day event (Saturday & Sunday).

Each year, the festival raises over $48,000 for its two beneficiaries: Loxley Elementary School and the ARC Baldwin County. The festival has become one of the largest of its kind and is considered by many to be one of the best organized festivals in the area.

In addition to the festival, the Little Miss Strawberry Beauty Pageant is held in March. The pageant is open to second grade girls attending Baldwin County public or private schools. The participants are judged on poise, appearance, and personality by a panel of three qualified adjudicators.
Proceeds from the festival have helped both benefitting organizations to fund daily operations. Loxley Elementary School has used their funds to purchase computers for their classroom and library, to air condition their multi-purpose building and to upgrade their playground equipment. The ARC Baldwin County (ARCBC) has used its funds to open new residential homes and purchase the vans used at these homes. The festival has been a great help to both organizations. Come out with your friends, families and neighbors to have a great time and support these community groups!
