Royalty candidates preparing for March 14 pageant

Welcome to the Berry Patch, your location for information on the events for the 2020 Marysville Strawberry Festival.

The 2020 Marysville Strawberry Festival will be held June 13-21, and will include events such as the Grand Parade, the Royalty Pageant, Kiddies Parade and Kids Day, Talent Show, Fashion Show/Luncheon, The Market in Asbery Field, and the return of a community favorite The Trike Races.

The 2020 Marysville Strawberry Festival Royalty Pageant will be held on Saturday, March 14, at Marysville-Pilchuck Performing Arts Center, beginning at 6 p.m. Tickets are $10. There are nine candidates vying for a position in the Marysville Strawberry Festival Royal Court. These candidates are making some preliminary speaking appearances along with their rehearsal schedule, which takes a lot of their time. These young people will be representing your community for the next year and we are inviting the community to come out on March 14 and support them.

The Marysville community will also be represented this coming parade season by your Marysville Strawberry Festival Float. The 2020 Strawberry Festival Royalty will be the official representative of your community and will be escorted by Strawberry Festival officials. The float makes appearances in locations such as Wenatchee, Puyallup, Spokane, Seattle, Leavenworth and will travel to many other locations throughout the Pacific Northwest.
