2025 Strawberry Festival Vendor Guide
🍓The 2025 Strawberry Festival Vendor Guide: Shop, Savor & Celebrate!
Downtown Kokomo is about to be dipped in whipped cream and sprinkled with summer magic—because the 2025 Strawberry Festival is here! 🍓
“The Strawberry Festival is a much-loved summer tradition in Kokomo, drawing thousands from near and far,” said Susan Alexander, manager of downtown initiatives for the Greater Kokomo Economic Development Alliance. “Not only is this a great day for the community to come together, but it’s also a catalyst for pushing forward our public art initiatives.”
Held around the Courthouse Square and expanding onto nearby streets, the festival features 185 vendors, including nearly 40 food trucks, artists, crafters, kids’ activities, and community booths. Admission is free, and $8 dessert tickets will score you the festival’s famous strawberry shortcake—served until 7 p.m. or while supplies last.
🍓 4,130 lbs of Moore’s strawberries
🍰 7,000 pieces of shortcake
🍦 300 gallons of Scoops ice cream
🍨 350 cans of whipped cream“While the strawberry shortcake is still the star of the show, we hope visitors will do more than grab dessert and go,” said Lori Dukes, President and CEO of the Greater Kokomo Economic Development Alliance. “We encourage everyone to linger a little longer... to enjoy the art, music, vendors, and the heart of our revitalized downtown.”
