So, we just got off the phone with the organizers of the Strawberry Festival. We're so excited that they have one more vendor spot available for sale! This is our lucky day! Oh wait. THEY'RE SCAMMERS!! Every year with this garbage! And this year they've gone so far as to create their own Facebook event pages! So, please be careful who you're talking to. And regardless of what their bogus event pages say, the festival is this Friday only from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. And it's sold out for vendors!

And, if we can pull enough strings, you'll see those scammers in the dunk tank on Friday!!

A friendly Strawberry Festival parking reminder:

There's a ton of free parking for the festival. Check out this map or peruse all the options here: greaterkokomo.com/where-should-i-park

Buuuuuttttttt ..... If you're planning to park in the lot across from the Central Middle School, don't. We're sharing the day with the Kokomo High School graduation and they'll need those spots. We know the shortcakes are tempting, but probably not tempting enough to explain to a graduate's grandma why you took her parking spot.

So check out the other available lots and give a big ole shout-out to any of the graduates you're lucky enough to see! Way to go, Class of 2026!

11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday, June 5 in downtown Kokomo.

Strawberry Festival is proof that downtown Kokomo knows exactly how to start summer. Honestly, somebody should bottle this atmosphere and sell it year-round.

But since no one has figured out how to do that yet, you'll need to just join us on Friday, June 5. 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Downtown Kokomo. Be there!

Shoutout to the volunteers serving thousands of strawberry shortcakes every year at the Strawberry Festival.

Absolute legends.

There should honestly be a competitive sport for carrying giant trays of freshly baked shortcake through crowded downtown streets. 🍓👏
