What began as a small village festival on the banks of Goose Creek in the village of Delaplane has grown into one of the premier outdoor family events in Virginia. The Delaplane Strawberry Festival, now held up the road at Sky Meadows State Park, is visited by close to 10,000 people over the Memorial Day weekend each year. The event offers two days of family fun in an idyllic setting overlooking the Historic Crooked Run Valley District.
Hosted by members of Emmanuel Church, local partnering organizations and many kind and diligent volunteers, the festival raises money for the ministries of Emmanuel and our outreach partners. Each year, we are blessed to be able to contribute to many organizations within our community, nationally and internationally who are working to improve the lives of so many in need.
