Get ready for three days of sweet summer fun as the Bedford Strawberry Festival returns to Bedford Public Square from Friday, June 13 through Sunday, June 15, 2025. Hosted by the Bedford Historical Society, this beloved annual tradition brings together families, friends, and neighbors for a weekend filled with live entertainment, local vendors, delicious food—and of course, strawberry treats!
The festival kicks off Friday evening from 6:00pm to 10:00pm, continues all day Saturday from Noon to 10:00pm, and wraps up Sunday from 1:00pm to 7:00pm. Visitors can enjoy live music from local bands, a bustling craft vendor market, a wide variety of food stands, and a draft beer tent. Kids will love the activities planned just for them, and there’s entertainment throughout the weekend for all ages.
As part of Saturday’s festivities, visitors can stop by the Bedford Town Hall Museum at 2:00 p.m. for a special meet-and-greet with beloved local figures Tim Taylor and Lil’ John Rinaldi. Guests can enjoy autographs, photos, and conversation. Admission is free, and donations to the Bedford Historical Society are welcome.
One of the highlights of the festival is the Cash Prize Raffle, with a grand prize of $500, a second prize of $300, and a third prize of $200. Raffle tickets are just $1 each or six for $5, and can be purchased at the Bedford Historical Society Museum Store or during the event. The Bedford Historical Society Museum will also be open during the festival, giving guests a chance to explore Bedford’s rich history while enjoying the weekend festivities. Winners will be drawn Sunday evening at 6:45pm—so make sure to get your tickets before then!
Whether you’re coming for the fresh strawberries, the music, or the family-friendly atmosphere, the Bedford Strawberry Festival is the place to be this June. Don’t miss it!
