The Strawberry Festival is held at the Chassell Township Park each year on the Friday and Saturday following the 4th of July (except in years where the 4th falls on a Thursday, Friday or Saturday in which case it is held on the following weekend).

A fun event for all, it includes a children's parade and a full parade, live music, a queen competition, a craft/vendor show, children's games, fish boil and other food options and best of all -- the famous Strawberry Shortcake!
