Strawberry Festival Returns to the Warrensburgh Riverfront Farmers' Market Near Lake George

There is a sure sign that summer has truly arrived in the Lake George region: the smell of fresh-picked strawberries drifting across the Schroon River. On Friday, June 12, 2026, the Warrensburgh Riverfront Farmers' Market hosts its 4th Annual Strawberry Festival from 3 to 6 p.m. at the Warrensburg Recreation Field Pavilion on Library Avenue, just a short drive north of Lake George Village. It is a free, family-friendly afternoon built around locally grown berries, homemade treats, and the kind of small-town community spirit the Adirondacks does best.

A Sweet Start to the Warrensburg Market Season

The Strawberry Festival has quickly become one of the most anticipated dates on the Warrensburgh Riverfront Farmers' Market calendar, drawing neighbors and visitors alike to the banks of the Schroon River. Now in its fourth year, the celebration leans into peak local strawberry season, when nearby farms are bursting with ripe, just-picked fruit.

Held under and around the recreation field pavilion, the festival turns a regular Friday market into a full-blown community gathering. It is an easy, low-key outing that captures everything people love about summer in Warren County.

Berries, Bakers, and Free Samples

The star of the show is, of course, the strawberry. Visitors can buy freshly picked, locally grown berries by the basket, and enjoy a free sampler plate of strawberry recipes to discover new ways to use them at home.

Several beloved local bakers and food makers will feature strawberry-infused creations, including Dawn's Delights, Halo's Sweets and Treats, J. Gallup Farm, and Love Bakes the World Go Round. Expect strawberry pies, cakes, cookies, and plenty more, alongside free freshly brewed coffee to round out the afternoon.

Live Music, Crafts, and Family Fun

This is a festival designed with the whole family in mind. Children can dive into hands-on activities and crafts while the band Two Fold provides live music throughout the afternoon.

Shoppers can also browse goods from local craft makers and market vendors, making it a great chance to support area artisans. There is even a chance to win $20 in Farmers' Market Bucks, which can be spent on the spot with participating vendors.

Grow Your Own and Stay Healthy

The festival mixes fun with a little practical know-how. Warren County Cornell Cooperative Extension Master Gardeners will be on hand with tips on how to grow your own berries at home, perfect for anyone inspired to plant a patch of their own.

In a nice community touch, Glens Falls Hospital's Emergency Department team will offer free blood pressure checks, giving visitors a simple, friendly way to look after their health while they enjoy the day.
