Quick question: if you had to name a berry that you immediately come up with as soon as we say “summer”, we bet we know exactly what you’d say. We’d wager it’s strawberries! It’s no surprise: the strawberry is everything that’s right with the season; it’s perfectly juicy, sweet, and in the best cases, very large. So, if we told you there’s an amazing strawberry festival in Indiana coming up, how stoked would you be? Well, we’re super stoked about it, too – so let’s head over to Crawfordsville and check it out. When it comes to fun things to do in Indiana, this awesome strawberry festival will remind you of everything that’s right in the world.

Crawfordsville is a quiet small town in Montgomery County that's sure to charm you from the moment you arrive.

It's a larger small town, if that makes sense, with a population of just over 16,000 people. Of course, the population rises a little every year during the annual strawberry festival.
Each late spring, Crawfordsville celebrates all things summer by transforming the historic Lane Place mansion into a juicy, delicious berry wonderland.

You'll find that there are lots more things to do than just munching on some strawberries. This festival is exactly that, after all - a festival!
There will be food (other than strawberries!), arts and crafts, activities, games, and plenty of entertainment.
