Northwest Festival Hosting Association
A message from the President:
I am so excited, as President, to welcome everyone back to help celebrate our 91st Annual Strawberry Festival.
“A Strawberry Celebration!” is our theme this year to remind our community about this time-honored tradition. This celebration unified our beautiful city and brings us together with a strong sense of community and pride in our hometown.
As we present the Marysville Strawberry Festival, our wish is that you enjoy all that Marysville has to offer, not only during the festival but all year long!
We as a Board look forward to visiting all of your cities and celebrating your festival and parades with your communities.
