76th Annual Middle Tennessee Strawberry Festival is Saturday, May 13, 2017. This year’s theme is “Berry Sweet Traditions.” This year we are excited to have Bucky Covington as our Grand Marshal for the parade! He will also be performing a free concert that night with fireworks to follow!
In the early 1900’s Portland’s big industry was “strawberries”. In addition to the large number of farms and agricultural businesses growing the country’s finest berries, there was a creating factory, a fruit processing plant, a canning factory, and a freezing facility producing strawberries for Breyers Ice Cream and other national brands.
During the peak of the strawberry business Portland would ship out 30 railroad cars a day. Portland started hosting the Middle Tennessee Strawberry Festival in 1941, and that tradition continues today. Each year in mid-May the festival brings 30,000+ people together to celebrate the importance of the strawberry industry to Portland’s heritage.
Portland has become more industrialized over the past few decades, but we still have several local strawberry farmers who bring strawberries to sell at the Festival & have pick-your-own farms available in the area. We can’t predict what the strawberry crop will look like each year as the weather plays a huge factor in the size of the strawberry crop, but our community still celebrates together each May the importance strawberries have on our town’s heritage.
We hope you will join us this year to celebrate! The Middle Tennessee Strawberry Festival provides an opportunity for people to travel to Portland to enjoy the events, the food, the community and the small-town feel of Portland with family & friends.
The Vol State Cap and Gown Ride is a fun day of biking for cyclists of all abilities, with three different scenic routes: 61 mile 33 mile and 15 mile. The entry fee raises money for adult student scholarships.
Volunteer State Community College is hosting a day of bicycling fun for the fourth year in a row, but now under the title “The Vol State Cap and Gown Ride.” Why the name change? It’s clear that having more adults with college degrees is critical for the state of Tennessee to continue to grow economically. The Governor calls the effort the “Drive to 55.” The goal is to have 55 percent of adult Tennesseans equipped with a college degree or certificate by the year 2025.
That’s the new focus for the Vol State Cap and Gown Ride. The call to action for the riders is simple: Encourage a friend to get their college degree.
Mom’s, bring the kids out and join us for an afternoon of fun.
