West Tennessee Strawberry Festival

West Tennessee Strawberry Festival The very first festivals were designed as a way to market our community and all of West Tennessee in a challenging economy. What’s missing? You are!

75,000 friends and neighbors, 9 blocks, 30 events that are sure to entertain the entire family, come celebrate and experience the food, fun, and entertainment that West Tennessee has to offer! The West Tennessee Strawberry Festival is a 83 - year tradition in Humboldt, an opportunity for a classic West Tennessee homecoming as people travel from across the country to enjoy the events, the food and

the fellowship of family and friends. Organizers went to state officials for support and came up with a celebration that included bringing the town and the surrounding community together. Along with instruction for growing and marketing the strawberry, those who attend are entertained, and contests and events are planned simply for enjoyment and fellowship. Pageants, music, the horse show, fireworks, the recipe contest, the carnival, parades with floats and bands, the 5K & 10K runs, festival cuisine and more are all a part of the attraction. Now is the time to contact the Festival leadership or the Humboldt Chamber to determine how you may “plug in” to all the activities of Festival planning, a year-round process, and then the presentation, always the first full week of May. There truly is a place for everyone!

From start to finish, the 88th West Tennessee Strawberry Festival proved once again that Humboldt knows how to throw a party.

What began as a celebration of local farmers and their strawberry crops has grown into the week-long tradition we know and love.

This year, friends came from across the region to enjoy all the things that makes this event unlike anything else in West Tennessee. Whether it was your first visit or your 50th, the magic of Humboldt’s favorite week never gets old and the best news is, the 89th annual festival is just around the corner!!

Keep an eye on our social media for updates and mark your calendar for May 2027!

And just like that, we’ve made it to 88 years of the West Tennessee Strawberry Festival!

Year after year, this festival has watched all of us grow up and grow old. Many who were once children are now returning with children and grandchildren of their own.

We’ve seen crowns passed from big sisters to little sisters, titles shared by mothers and daughters, and hundreds of friends and neighbors serve this festival in countless ways across decades.

Every year looks a little different. So do each of us. And yet, every year, 75,000 people (and counting) show up and every year, we’re reminded just how special this community truly is.

Cheers to 88 years. And to every one of you who made them count.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

We’re ready for year 89!

Reminder for tonight’s carnival. Sales stop at 8:30 closes promptly at 9!
