The Town of Fort Mill is excited to announce its first ever Virtual Strawberry Festival Week, which kicks off Saturday, April 25.

To keep the spirit of the S.C. Strawberry Festival alive, the Town of Fort Mill is rolling out a virtual event starting Saturday.

Some of the highlights of the interactive events:

  • Strawberry Idol singing contest
  • Strawberry Art contest
  • Strawberry Recipe Video contest
  • Virtual Strawberry Bingo
  • Festival Trivia Contest
  • Berry B. Good Virtual Scavenger Hunt
  • Virtual Car Show Photo Contest

“The event will also feature messages from our outgoing and incoming Strawberry Queens, and will spotlight Fort Mill’s downtown merchants, previous festival sponsors, and the vendors who applied for this year’s festival,” a press release says.

The annual festival was canceled this year due to the current COVID-19 crisis. So the first ever “Virtual Strawberry Festival Week” kicks off this Saturday, April 25.
