The sweetest strawberries await you at the Jamestown Strawberry Festival

The town will once again bursts into life with thousands of visitors who will flock to the Jamestown Strawberry Festival to enjoy the festivities of this warm and friendly community event.

Strawberry lovers can buy and enjoy all things strawberry, including fresh strawberries, strawberry jams, fridge tarts, cupcakes, ice cream and lots more.

The Strawberry Festival, which is a fun outdoor family event, is uniquely located in the main road of the town, with the beautiful mountains as backdrop and has become a highlight on the Stellenbosch social calendar. Residents in the main road open their homes to the public where you can have a cup of tea and delicious scones and cakes or relax by the riverside with the water cobbling along while enjoying a glass of wine and the owner’s signature curry dishes at LC River Garden.
