Annual Beacon Sloop Club event at Seeger Park 

The Beacon Sloop Club will host its annual Strawberry Festival from noon to 5 p.m. on Sunday, June 12, at Pete & Toshi Seeger Park. Admission is free, and the rain-or-shine event features live music on two stages, environmental displays and speakers, craft booths and children’s activities.

Members and friends of the all-volunteer Beacon Sloop Club will bake and serve their traditional fresh strawberry shortcake, a homemade treat with local berries, real whipped cream and hot biscuits. Other delicacies will include large chocolate-covered strawberries and strawberry smoothies.

In keeping with Sloop Club tradition, the live music will be powered by the club’s solar panel trailer. For more information, visit beaconsloopclub.org.
