COATESVILLE, PA — The beloved Strawberry Festival is making a much-anticipated return, now reimagined and relocated to the heart of Downtown Coatesville. The Rotary Club of Coatesville, in partnership with Coatesville 2nd Century Alliance, is bringing this family-friendly tradition back in an exciting new format while continuing its mission to benefit the greater Coatesville community.
The Reimagined Strawberry Festival will take place on Main Street between 1st and 3rd Avenues, creating a vibrant atmosphere in the business district to welcome the strawberry season. The event, free to attend with pay-as-you-go activities, will be held on Friday, June 6, from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM, and Saturday, June 7, from 12:00 PM to 9:00 PM.
Festival-goers can expect a mix of nostalgic favorites and new attractions, including games and amusement rides provided by Majestic Midways, a performing arts entertainment area, a strawberry drop zone, and, of course, plenty of delicious strawberry shortcakes. Coatesville 2nd Century Alliance will also feature live entertainment, vendors, crafts, and a diverse selection of food throughout the downtown area.
“Bringing the Strawberry Festival back is an exciting opportunity to revive a beloved tradition that has been a cornerstone of our community’s summer celebrations for decades,” says Greg Krajewski, President of the Rotary Club of Coatesville. “The Rotary Club of Coatesville, which helped start the festival years ago, was eager to see it continue in a fresh and meaningful way. Through collaboration with Coatesville 2nd Century Alliance, known for launching First Fridays in Downtown Coatesville, and the City of Coatesville, we saw a perfect opportunity to reimagine the festival and bring new energy to this cherished event. We look forward to welcoming the community to experience the Reimagined Strawberry Festival in the heart of Downtown Coatesville.”
“The Rotary Club of Coatesville and Coatesville 2nd Century Alliance are committed to making this event a staple in the community once again, providing fun for all ages while shining a spotlight on the exciting revitalization happening in downtown Coatesville,” says Amber Little Turner, Executive Director, Coatesville 2nd Century Alliance “Mark your calendars and join us in celebrating the return of this cherished tradition in its new home!”
