Strawberry Jam in Arthur, Illinois June 1st and 2nd 2012

It began in the 1950's as merchant sidewalk sales... The “strawberry festival” idea evolved when a strawberry social was taking place south of the Otto Center in Arthur, Illinois. There was plenty of sweet juicy strawberry pies and other delicious food that attracted visitors to the quaint little town. 


Now, that little social has been born into what Arthur has created as “The Strawberry Jam.” Those who love that juicy tart, yet sometimes sweet fruit can enjoy a festival that is all about strawberries. Arthur will be celebrating the Strawberry Jam Festival once again this late spring on June 1 and 2nd, 2012. 

Vendors who line the sidewalk try to include at least some type of strawberry theme to their stand. Food stands will add at least one strawberry item to their menus.
