Are you ready for the sweetest festival of the year?

Cullman’s Alabama Strawberry Festival is fast approaching and if you’ve never been, you might be wondering what to expect. Keep reading ahead for all the need-to-know details about this year’s two-day extravaganza!

Happening May 3 and 4, the Alabama Strawberry Festival will feature live performances from headliners, the Eli Young Band and Niko Moon, as well as sets from Easton Corbin, Matt Stell, JC Clayton, Eric Hutchinson, Colin Stough, Cousin Curtiss, Jesse Roper, Kasey Tyndall, Lamont Landers, The Pink Stones, Banditos and Nat Myers.

Tickets are not required for festival entry, but reserved seating, chairs and the best concert views come with all paid tickets.

While the bands are groovin’, festival goers can also browse through over 80 unique vendors, with goods ranging from premium, locally grown strawberries, handmade artisan crafts, local eats and treats, and some of the best strawberry dishes you’ve ever tasted.

There’s also the “Doggie Pawgeant” where your pup can strut their stuff for the crowd, and the baking contest where pros and newbies alike can share their strawberry creations, both of which can be entered here for a modest registration fee of $5.

Come for the vendors, good tunes and great food, but stay for the Berry Drink Chuggin’, Strawberry and Pie Eating Contests on Saturday. With endless shopping, activities and good times to be had all around, the 2024 Alabama Strawberry Festival is shaping up to be the perfect summer kickoff event for the whole family!
