WCRK/Country Legends Strawberry Festival guests can also enjoy a true taste of the Lakeway area from local food vendors serving everything from freeze-dried treats, shaved ice, chimney cakes, kettle corn, macarons, bundt-style sweets, Sabrett hot dogs, sliders, gyros, kabobs, funnel cakes, mini donuts, charcuterie boxes, acai bowls, soup beans and cornbread, spiral taters, fried bologna, baked potatoes, lemonade, soft-serve ice cream, cotton candy, fresh breads, jams, salsa, and more.

WCRK/Country Legends Festival Coordinator Sally Roberts said one of her favorite parts of organizing the Strawberry Festival is seeing artists, craftspeople, homesteaders, makers, and community leaders all come together in one place.

“The creativity in our region is truly something special,” Roberts said. “This year especially, I’m thrilled by how many vendors have embraced the strawberry theme with their crafts and foods. It really shows how much heart our community puts into making this festival something families look forward to every year.”

There will be giveaways by local vendors. Stop by several booths to win prizes.

New this year, WCRK/Country Legends will welcome “Davy Crockett” as portrayed by Isaac White. Crockett will be sharing stories about life on the frontier and what it was like during his time. In addition, the Davy Crockett Tavern will be on site showcasing artifacts from the period, giving visitors a unique opportunity to connect with local history in an engaging, hands-on way.

“We never charge visitors to attend our Strawberry Festival,” General Manager Ed Arnold said. “This is our way of saying thanks for their loyal listenership, continuing to make us the most listened to radio stations year after year.”
