Strawberry Fair

Strawberry Fair will be back on Saturday 1 June 2024 from 12. pm to 11.00 pm on Cambridge’s Midsummer Common for its 50th Anniversary with the theme STRAWBERRY FAIR: 50 YEARS

And to get things off to a flying start Strawberry Fair has been voted Best Festival at the NMG Awards 2023!

From humble beginnings, Strawberry Fair has grown to be the most popular free, entirely volunteer run, one day music & arts event in Cambridge (and probably across Europe!), attracting over 30,000 visitors throughout the day. Held on the first Saturday of June, residents and visitors gather together on Midsummer Common to celebrate their vibrant and creative city.

The Fair is a labour of love and is run entirely by volunteers (affectionately known as Strawberry Fairies) who channel their energy, imagination, and vision into presenting their friends and neighbours in Cambridge with a great, free day out.

Strawberry Fair is a visual and musical extravaganza for all the family, a jamboree for people of all ages. Strawberry Fair is a feast for music lovers and anyone who wants to participate in Community Arts. Throughout the Fair, across over 10 hours of the day, you can enjoy an eclectic range of music and performances from well over 100 groups, both local and from further afield. Find out more about this year’s areas and stages.

The Fair has community stalls where you can find out what local people are doing to make Cambridge a happy and happening city. And, if you want to get your wallets out, there’s crafts to buy and lots and lots of food to satisfy all tastes and appetites.
