Chaney said there could be a few more establishments added to the list as excitement grows for the festival.
The Troy Strawberry Festival was created in 1977 by the Troy Area Chamber of Commerce to raise money for community organizations.
“Strawberries were chosen as the festival’s focus because Fulton Farms, located right outside of Troy, had one of the largest strawberry patches east of the Mississippi River,” Chaney said.
In the spirit of the festival, many local businesses keep strawberry-themed items in their shops year-round.
This year’s festival is 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. June 7 and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. June 8.
“Troy, Ohio, is a perfect destination for a day trip or weekend getaway,” Chaney said. “When visiting our vibrant city, you’ll find unique shops, local restaurants, and cultural attractions, all nestled along the scenic Great Miami River. With a blend of historic character and recreational options, Troy offers something for everyone.”
