You are invited to the Burien Wild Strawberry Festival on Saturday & Sunday, June 18-19 at the festival's downtown location at Town Square Park, Southwest 152nd St. and Fifth Avenue Southwest.
An amazing number of fun activities will be featured, including Saturday B-Town Bike Fair, with a bike rodeo, scavenger hunt, helmet fitting and 3 p.m. parade; Carnival Days hosted by Discover Burien, with rides and games for all ages; B-Boy Strawberry Jam--an amazing break dance competition on Saturday starting at 4:30 p.m; and games at many of the vendor booths.
The festival kicks off with the annual Kiwanis Club's Pancake Breakfast at the Burien Fire Station. The Wild Strawberry 5K Run will be held on Saturday morning and sponsored by Whitewater Aquatics. Discover Burien's popular Father's Day Car Show & Chili Cook-Off will again be held on Sunday and conveniently located right next to the activities.
Fabulous music, strolling comedians, dancers, puppeteers, storytelling and community performers will be a mainstay of the event, along with yummy food booths, great shopping, and the festival's signature strawberry shortcake.
Organizers are encouraging festival-goers to walk, bike and bus to the event. The festival is produced by the city of Burien.
