The Ashland Strawberry Faire is celebrating 40 Years!

The Ashland Strawberry Faire is a free, family-oriented event which promotes the community, celebrates the strawberry harvest and raises funds for Hanover County scholarships.

Come visit 300 vendors, including arts & crafts, non-profit groups and Hanover County businesses in historic Ashland, Virginia. The Faire is held on the tree-lined streets of beautiful Randolph-Macon College.

Since 1982, the Faire has relied on community volunteers to run every aspect of the one-day event, which includes a Strawberry Parade, BARKing Lot, Pet Pageant and Motor Mile. There is truly something for the thousands who attend each year. Proceeds from the non-profit Faire provides scholarships and grants to local non-profit groups.

Scholarship Drive 2021 was a Success!

Despite not holding a Faire for two years in a row, the Faire Committee successfully distributed $12,000 in scholarships without dipping into the general funds needed for the 2022 Faire. How? Through various fundraising activities and contributions from the community, businesses, churches, Faire Committee members, and our amazing vendors!  We are so “berry” proud of ourselves!
