Elmwood Strawberry Festival

06/14/2026

🍓 What makes the Elmwood Strawberry Festival special isn't just the food, the vendors, the shirts, or even the strawberries.

❤️ It's the people.

As we reflect on another wonderful Festival, we're reminded that every successful event is built on the generosity, dedication, and support of an incredible community.

🚛 Thank you to Central Illinois Trailer Rental, LLC, Wes and Joe with Montefusco, the City of Elmwood, GFL, and Princeville Prints for helping provide the equipment, services, support, and expertise that help bring this event to life.

🍓 Thank you to every community member and visitor who spent part of their day with us. Your support means more than you know.

🎶 Thank you to our vendors, car show participants, and musicians for helping create the sights, sounds, and experiences that make the Elmwood Strawberry Festival so amazing. Your dedication and enthusiasm helped turn a day on the square into a memorable community celebration.

🙌 Last but certainly not least, thank you to our volunteers. Our committee is made up entirely of volunteers, and the Festival depends on countless hours of planning, organizing, setting up, serving, cleaning up, and problem-solving. Students and community members alike give their time so that others can enjoy this tradition.

🤝 The Elmwood Strawberry Festival has always been about neighbors helping neighbors and people coming together to create something bigger than themselves.

❤️ From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for making this year's Festival such a sweet success.

🍓 Thank you for helping us make this year berry memorable. We can't wait to jam together again in 2027 ❤️🍓
