πFarmers Furniture Humboldt recently enjoyed participating in the 88th Annual Strawberry Festival Grand Floats Parade. π
This festival is the longest running festival in West Tennessee and draws roughly 75,000 to 80,00 people each year.
πThe Strawberry Festival was started in 1934 to promote the area's primary harvest season, which was of course, strawberries! In Humboldt strawberries are more lucrative than cotton, so city officials decided to capitalize on this market by turning the harvest into a festival. π
πThe Strawberry Festival has grown from an afternoon at the market into an 8-day event full of strawberry themed pageants, parades and tasting events all over the city. It is the "unofficial" start to summer in Humboldt and the community looks forward to this event each and every year. π
