We are thrilled to present the 21st Annual Strawberry Festival, a beloved downtown Durham event, on Saturday, May 2, 2026 from 11am-3pm at Old North Durham Park.
Come have a berry good time! The Strawberry Festival is a child-centered, family run, community fun-focused event for all of Durham, hosted by Central Park School for Children (CPSC). Every May for 21 years, children, parents, alumni, and community members of all ages gather to enjoy a fun-filled family day in the park while raising money to expand learning for our students.
This event, which takes place at Old North Durham Park, in the center of our new K-8 city block campus, will feature:
* Live music & entertainment
* Arts & Crafts
* Strawberry treats and desserts
* Activity booths
* Community vendors
* Silent Auction … and more!
We can’t wait to celebrate 21 years of CPSC’s Strawberry Festival with you this Spring! Please RSVP here for updates.
