Saturday, May 8, 2010, Noon to 5:00 p.m.
Richmond Beach Community Park, 2201 NW 197th Street
Richmond Beach Community Association will be hosting its 11th annual Strawberry Festival at the Richmond Beach Community Park next to the library on Saturday, May 8, from noon to 5:00 p.m. This event is co-sponsored by the City of Shoreline and the music is supported by a Community Arts Project grant from the Shoreline-Lake Forest Park Arts Council. Here's what you have to look forward to:
The sensational music line-up:
- Noon Fidgety Feet (Dixieland)
- 1 pm Portage Bay Big Band (Big Band Jazz/Swing)
- 2 pm Warren Murray Delta Blues Duo (Blues)
- 3 pm Northern Departure (Bluegrass)
- 4 pm Jimmy Free's Friends (Reggae)
Delectable food will be offered by local restaurants Flying Dragon Chinese Cuisine, Full Moon Thai Cuisine, Naknek Seafood and Richmond Beach Grill House. And, of course, what kind of festival would it be without traditional Strawberry Shortcake served up by RBCA (freshly baked shortcake from Edmonds Bakery and fresh, juicy strawberries smothered in creamy whip cream—yum!).
In addition, there will be a walking tour of historic Richmond Beach at 1:00 p.m. (meet in front of the library), community information booths, Shorewood photography contest, lots of games and activities for kids and a visit by Shoreline's finest—the police and fire departments.
If you would like to help with this exciting event, volunteers are needed for set up, to run food booths, to help with games and activities and to clean up.

Co-sponsored by the Richmond Beach Community Association and the City of Shoreline; music supported by a Shoreline-Lake Forest Park Arts Council Community Project Award.
