One of Alabama’s best small-town festivals…the Baldwin County Strawberry Festival in Loxley kicks off in just over a month! Held April 11–12, 2026, from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM at Loxley Municipal Park, this two-day event has been a local favorite since 1987. Fresh strawberries are the star, especially the famous strawberry shortcake served all weekend. You’ll also find food booths, arts and crafts vendors, live music, and a full carnival with rides and midway games like ring toss and balloon pop. The car show runs both days on the south side of the park, with classes from pre-1930 to present, plus awards for Best of Show, Best Paint, Best Engine Bay, and more. Live music includes Brandi, Cadie Calhoun, Roland Cobbs, Tommy Morse Band, and Scott Hinson Duo. The festival raises over $100,000 each year for Loxley Elementary and ARC Baldwin County…so you can enjoy the fun while knowing your contributing to good causes!
