The Vashon-Maury Island Chamber of Commerce is proud to present the Strawberry Festival Main Stage with the Strawberry Festival Beverage Garden in the Vashon Market IGA parking lot.

Music starts at 12 noon and continues until 12 midnight, Saturday, July 17. Enjoy a lineup of beloved local musicians and Seattle-based favorites, curated by Vashon Events, with Laird Gonter of Bandstand Music for staging and sound.

The eating, drinking and dancing area includes the Beverage Garden (designated 21+) and an all-ages area. The hyperlocal Beverage Garden with tented tables will serve Vashon Brewing Beer, Dragon’s Head Cider, Nashi Orchards Cider, Palouse reds and white wine and Seven Seas beer.

Aside from the Beverage Garden, there is plenty of space for families and those under 21 to sit and enjoy the music. The dance floor is open to all ages. There are tables available for patrons to sit at and enjoy the food they’ve ordered from one of the island’s excellent local restaurants. Because this is a zero-waste event, bring your own water bottle or purchase a 2021 Strawberry Festival double-wall or cold cup from the Chamber Merchandise Shop at the Main Stage. All of the fantastic music will be streamed live on VOV.
