The 44th Annual Owego Strawberry Festival is set for next month.
The popular event will take place from June 18 through June 20 in downtown Owego.
The event kicks off on Thursday, June 18, with a timed 5K Walk and Run at Hickories Park in Owego.
Organizers are keeping the 250th anniversary of the United States’ signing of the Declaration of Independence in mind. Sweet Liberty, the theme for this year’s festival, seemed fitting as we celebrate the nation’s semiquincentennial.
There will be over 20 bands on several stages throughout the event, which kicks off in downtown Owego with a Block Party on Friday evening, June 19. Grand fireworks conclude the festivities for Friday.
On Saturday, June 20, the annual parade will welcome literally dozens of units to downtown Owego, representing youth groups, veterans, organizations, businesses, and anyone who wants to come out and be a part of the community spirit.
For the 5K Walk and Run, registration is currently open, and you can visit https://runsignup.com/Race/NY/Owego/OwegoStrawberryFestivalRockRun5K to sign up.
