Memorial Day Weekend: Pungo Strawberry Festival

Ebie Harris
Every year during Memorial Day weekend, Pungo, a small rural community of Virginia Beach hosts the Pungo Strawberry Festival. The two day event is filled with non-stop live entertainment, plenty of contests, a parade, and one of the largest carnivals around. Unique arts and crafts from over a hundred vendors will be on display. Cheer on your favorite pig during the pig races. Of course do not forget to enjoy the strawberries; there are over 50 combinations to choose from.

This family friendly venue is alcohol free. All money from the festival is donated to both non-profit community and service organizations. A turn out of over 120,000 people is expected for this years festival. Admission to the 27th annual Pungo Strawberry Festival is free. Parking is $5 per vehicle. The festival runs both May 29th and May 30th from 9am to 7pm. This event is located at 1776 Princess Anne Road, Virginia Beach 23456.
