This year, Troy and Miami County are celebrating 50 years of the Troy Strawberry Festival. Located along the banks of the Great Miami River and throughout downtown Troy, this 2026 weekend-long festival will take place Saturday, June 6, from 10:00am – 9:00pm, and Sunday, June 7, from 10:00am – 6:00pm. The festival includes a wide variety of arts and crafts vendors, great food, entertainment, and, of course, lots of strawberries.
Savor over 50 food and beverage vendors spread throughout downtown Troy. Try a variety of strawberry-based dishes, from a classic strawberry donut or shortcake to the more unique strawberry options. All food vendors participating in the festival are partnered with a Miami County non-profit organization to help raise funds for their mission. Along with all food and beverage vendors, Troy’s Designated Outdoor Refreshment Area (DORA) will be in effect Saturday and Sunday from 11:00am-11:00pm for those 21+ to enjoy.
Throughout the weekend, participate in or attend a variety of Strawberry Festival events and activities. These events include the Strawberry Pie eating contest, Strawberry Classic Run 5k & 10K and Shortcake Fun Run, tennis shootout, Super Kids Fitness Challenge, Big Wheel Race, and many more family activities. 2026 also brings back a fan favorite event, the Troy Strawberry Festival Cruise-In. Come to Troy Community Park, from 10:00am – 2:00pm on Sunday, June 7, for a variety of classic cars on display for all to see. Dash plaques will be given to the first 300 cars. A $10 online registration fee or a cash fee on the day of entry is charged for those cars wanting to be judged, and the award ceremony will be held at 1:30pm.
Be entertained by a variety of live music and performances on the Strawberry Festival’s two stages, one in downtown Troy and one on the levee. And don’t forget to pick up some of the coveted strawberry donuts, a favorite of festival attendees.
