Victoria event celebrates all things strawberries

A strawberry-themed event is taking over Fernwood this Sunday, June 2. The Ichigo Strawberry Moon Market will take place at Fernwood Community Centre and will host over 10 food and drink vendors and more than 40 artists and craft makers. Entry is $2 or free for children.  

The family-friendly event organized by Fernwood Makers Party and Local Made By Hand is inspired by memories of growing up in Japan. Food and drink available at the event hope to reminisce on nostalgic flavours and treats from Japanese cuisine. Many of the food vendors and artists will also take inspiration from strawberries.    

In true testament to the event’s theme, Go Bind Farms will be bringing in a truckload of fresh strawberries grown in Saanich. The farm will also have a variety of veggies and preserves available as well as pies and baked goods.
