First Church Bedford to Host 70th Strawberry Festival

Bedford’s First Congregational Church, 25 Great Road, will celebrate summer with its 70th Strawberry Festival to be held from 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday, June 17.

This popular outdoor event will feature strawberry shortcakes on sale, rain or shine. Enjoy fresh strawberries, old fashioned biscuits and Bedford Farms vanilla ice cream, topped with homemade chocolate sauce and whipped cream. Hot fudge sundaes will also be available. Prices range from $5 to $7, with discounts for military, first responders, health-care workers, and teachers.

Live music will be provided to enjoy while you eat. And, free parking is available behind the church, off Mudge Way. (In case of inclement weather, event will be take-out only.)

Guests are respectfully asked to wear facemasks, as a kindness to those not vaccinated against COVID-19.

The entire community is invited to welcome summertime and reconnect with friends at this year’s Strawberry Festival. Please, bring your facemask and come enjoy the evening!
