The South Berwick Strawberry Festival is all about volunteerism and giving back to the community.  The 5-member Organizing Committee is comprised of hard-working local residents who volunteer their time and skills year-round.  Together, with hundreds of local volunteers and other local non-profit organizations who supply hands-on support, an event is created that showcases the talents of craftsmen from all around the region, the musical aspirations of area talent, and the enjoyment of watching children frolic among the wonderment of it all.

The food is all supplied by local non-profit groups who raise money to support their organizations.  When all is said and done, the proceeds raised by the Festival Committee are returned back to the local non-profit groups in the form of grants to support local community projects.  Volunteers helping volunteers by giving back to the community - the giving just keeps on giving!
