The Marysville Strawberry Festival is next, June 17 at Asbery Field. It is part of a huge festival that includes The Market, Beer Garden and live entertainment at the same location, along with the Kiddies and Grand Parades a few blocks away on State, and a midway a few blocks away the other direction at Marysville Middle School.
