The Troy Strawberry Festival Board of Directors on April 1 canceled the 2021 festival based on COVID-19 health restrictions. However, Gov. Mike DeWine on April 5 announced simplified health orders issued by the Ohio Department of Health that led the board to meet with the city of Troy and Miami County Public Health to enact a plan for the Strawberry Jam event.
“It was the intent of the board to have some type of event that weekend,” board Chairwoman Linda Roth stated in a release. “We understand the importance of the festival to the nonprofits, local business and the community. We are happy we were able to reconvene after the governor’s announcement and move forward with this new event.”
The Strawberry Jam will be Friday, June 4, and Saturday, June 5. Moe details about the event will be released as they are available.
The full Troy Strawberry Festival will return in 2022.
