National Strawberry Festival

The National Strawberry Festival in Belleville, Michigan, established in 1977, began as a way for local farmers to celebrate their strawberry crops. Taking place over three days, held the third weekend in June, the festival offers many events for people of all ages. In collaboration with area churches and schools, some of the events include:
 * Bingo
 * Strawberry desserts
 * Parade
 * Car show
 * "Strawberry Queen Pageant"
 * Live entertainment

Each year the festival attracts over 200,000 people from Southeastern Michigan and farther.

This festival went on hiatus in 2020-21 caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and has not been resumed.
