Get Ready for a \u201cBerry\u201d Good Time! The 11th Annual Habitat Ocala Strawberry Festival is coming to the McPherson Complex on Saturday, March 1, 2025. The festival begins at 9:00 AM with free admission and runs until 5:00 PM.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Volunteers from the Marion Therapeutic Riding Association (MTRA) will assist with traffic control and parking. Parking is $5 per vehicle, and proceeds will benefit both MTRA and Habitat for Humanity of Marion County.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This year\u2019s festival will feature over 230 unique and exciting vendors, a kid\u2019s zone with a petting zoo, fresh strawberries from Plant City farmers, strawberry-inspired treats, a bigger-than-ever car show with cars, trucks, and motorcycles, a BMX stunt show, and a pie-eating contest.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Many nonprofit organizations will have vendor booths, and there will be several photo booths available throughout the festival. The event offers food for all tastes, fun activities for all ages, and a day of entertainment for festival-goers of all generations.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Habitat for Humanity could not host this event without the help of over 700 dedicated volunteers who generously donate their time, effort, and knowledge. We also want to extend a special thank-you to our wonderful sponsors for helping make this event possible.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
All proceeds from the Strawberry Festival will support Habitat for Humanity of Marion County\u2019s mission to build a new home, named the Strawberry House, for a low-income family in need of an affordable mortgage and a safe, secure place to raise their children.<\/div>\n
