West Tennessee Strawberry Festival

Visit West TN member seal

The West Tennessee Strawberry Festival is an 85-year tradition in Humboldt, an opportunity for a classic West Tennessee homecoming as people travel from across the country to enjoy the events, the food, and the fellowship of family and friends. The very first festivals were designed as a way to market the community and all of West Tennessee in a challenging economy. Organizers went to state officials for support and came up with a celebration that included bringing the town and the surrounding community together. You are sure to be entertained; contests and events are planned simply for enjoyment and fellowship. The pageants, the music, the golf tournament, the horse show, the fireworks, the recipe contest, the carnival, the parades with floats and bands, the 5K & 10K runs, the festival cuisine and more are all a part of the attraction.
