Welcome to another Monday road trip. Today we are at The Strawberry Festival.
This year’s festival is very special to me – I spent for yours in the area going to college and one of my best friends Mom and Aunt are the festivals Grand Marshall. . I can still remember my first taste of strawberry wine at her kitchen table and stirring the strawberry jam. It;s strawberry time in Louisiana.
Join us for the 48th Annual Ponchatoula Strawberry Festival on April 12-14, 2019 in Memorial Park in historic and beautiful Ponchatoula, Louisiana. The Ponchatoula Strawberry Festival is a FREE family friendly outdoor festival, filled with lots of great food, strawberries, entertainment, and fun for people of all ages to enjoy! With two music stages and food booths supporting local non-profit organizations, the festival grounds are the place to spend the weekend. We look forward to seeing you at the Ponchatoula Strawberry Festival, where we promise you will have a BERRY good time!
