Strawberry Festival in Melbourne, FL

If you live in Melbourne, you are used to seeing numerous signs on your daily commute about fairs, festivals, art shows, etc. My personal favorite has to be the Strawberry Festival. I have a major sweet tooth and I absolutely LOVE strawberries! This year is going to be the 22nd annual Habitat for Humanity of Brevard County Strawberry Festival. Their Sponsors this year include, but are not limited to Wal-Mart, Starbucks, Petty's Meat Market, Rockledge Gardens, Harris, Lifestyle Homes, Ben and Jerrys, Slug-a-Bug, Max Q Designs, BBN, Chick-Fil-A, and SGS. It's going on from 7am - 5pm, Saturday the 6th and from 9am - 5pm, Sunday the 7th 2010. It's for a good cause and I think it is definitely worth your time, money, and support.

It's free admission on both days and is an event everyone in the family can enjoy. You pay for food by the plate once you're in. It also makes for a great date if you want to spend some time with your significant other. If sweets aren't your thing, don't worry. There will be other things to eat besides strawberry pancakes and strawberry shortcake and chocolate covered strawberries. You can try their barbecue, pizza or amazing corn on the cob. Don't think I just listed all the food there because I definitely have not!

Saturday, there's a open car and bike show. There is live music on Sunday including 'Sweet Water Junction Band' playing from 2:30pm to 5:00pm and 'The Usual Suspects' playing from 11:00am to 2:00am. There is also an 'Artist and Crafters Show', a 'Kid's Korner'. The Strawberry Festival will all be at the Wickham Park Pavillion off of Parkway. Don't hesitate to stop by. I'm sure you will have a blast. I'm sure I will! If you want some more information go to www.brevardhabitat.com or call (321)728-4009.
