Locally made shortcake, ice cream, strawberries and whipped cream piled high in a bowl. What could be better?

Well, enjoying that strawberry shortcake under the sun while listening to live music! And that’s what you’ll find at the Strawberry Festival in beautiful downtown Kokomo. There will be vendors and activities all around the Courthouse Square.

Be sure to also check out Artsapalooza Art Market on North Main Street. You’ll find artists, makers and lots of demonstrations.

Local and national artists are encouraged to apply. The market also seeks professional and emerging artists who provide demonstrations for an immersive arts experience for festival-goers. The cost for 10’X10’ booth space is $80. Double booth spaces are available by request. Indoor restrooms, refreshments and free parking will be available to invited artists.
