Celebrate summertime and reconnect with friends at Bedford’s 66th Annual Strawberry Festival on Thursday June 16 at First Church of Christ, Congregational from 6pm to 8pm.

For a small fee, you’ll enjoy fresh strawberries in their own juices atop homemade biscuits with Bedford Farms vanilla ice cream and real whipped cream. If you know a chocolate lover, there will also be hot fudge sundaes on offer. There will also be live entertainment, along with complimentary coffee and tea. Proceeds from the sale of shortcake and sundaes will benefit the Bedford Food Pantry.

The Strawberry Festival is hosted by volunteers from the First Church of Christ Congregational and held under tents in the church parking lot at 25 Great Road, Bedford (in the event of rain, it’s held inside the church).
