Destinations: Marysville Strawberry Festival this Saturday

85th Annual Strawberry Festival in Marysville

The 85th Annual Marysville Strawberry Festival concludes this Saturday, June 18, with events all over this Snohomish county town. Most events are Saturday, but some continue on Sunday

Be sure to visit our spectacular Market Place where you can experience shopping and dining while listening to live music. For the adults, you won't want to miss the Beer Garden hosted by our own Marysville Kiwanis Club. Kids of all ages will be thrilled by our Carnival rides. View awesome automobiles at The Car Show adjacent to the Market Place. And, of course our Strawberry Shortcake Eating Contest really can't be missed. The Festival concludes on Saturday evening with our grand parade followed immediately by a spectacular fireworks show.
