LAHASKA, PA — The 44th annual Strawberry Festival at Peddler’s Village is set to take place on May 3 and 4, drawing thousands to Bucks County for a two-day celebration filled with strawberry-themed treats, live entertainment, and family-friendly activities.

Running from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. both days, the festival will feature fresh-baked strawberry pies, strawberry shortcake donuts, and other themed desserts like strawberry chocolate chip cannolis and scones. Visitors can also enjoy live music, kids’ activities, food trucks, and games. Admission is free, though food, drinks, and select activities will be pay-as-you-go.

A pie-eating contest for both adults and children will take place at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday, with registration beginning at 11:00 a.m. New this year is The Great Strawberry Strut, a costume contest inviting guests to don strawberry-themed outfits on Sunday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. for a chance to win prizes and a $100 gift card.

Shops throughout the village will remain open until 8 p.m. on Saturday, and VIP packages offering premier parking and festival perks are available for purchase in advance. House-baked strawberry streusel pies can be pre-ordered online or bought at the festival while supplies last.

“This is the kickoff to the festival season,” Peddler’s Village said in an announcement, highlighting the long-standing tradition that draws visitors from across the region.
