In light of today’s announcement regarding not holding the Fall 2019 Festival, we have decided to extend the pre-season sale to next year’s Spring Festival. The special discount on four day ticket types will now extend past the Thanksgiving holiday, to give loyal Fall Strawberry patrons an opportunity to consider going to the Spring Festival instead. Camping tickets to Spring 2019 Strawberry are available at the lowest price possible and can be purchased online 24/7, by phone M-F, 9-5 at (209) 984-8630, or by mail sending payment with our check order form to P.O. Box 664, Jamestown, CA 95327, on or by Monday, November 26th, 2018. We know some of you won’t be able to substitute Spring for Fall, but we hope to see as many Strawberrians as possible next Spring and will really look forward to seeing the rest of you in 2020. Thank you all for your continued support for the Strawberry Music Festivals.

For many of us, Strawberry Music Festivals are an important annual tradition. Some travel great distances and make arrangements months in advance. Because a missed festival has a huge impact on the Strawberry family, this decision has been made with care, so that you could be notified early enough to modify your plans.

Strawberry continues to discuss the future of the Westside property with Tuolumne Economic Development Authority, Inc. (commonly referred to as TEDA). We understand that the long-planned millpond restoration continues to be a project and that real progress is being made. Construction on the historic Westside dam could begin as early as next year. This work would have significant impacts on areas used during Strawberry. Therefore, Strawberry is skipping its traditional Fall Festival, for one year only, in 2019, with plans to return to Westside, over Labor Day weekend, in 2020.

Over the past five years working together, we have developed great respect for the folks at TEDA, the branch of the Tuolumne Band of Me-Wuk Indians that manages the Westside property. We appreciate them for undertaking this important project. Restoration of the millpond is good for the community of Tuolumne, for maintaining the water table, and for the environment. When the pond is full, Westside will become a premier destination for outdoor enthusiasts and an exceptional location for Fall Strawberry, with lots of water recreation opportunities.

We are incredibly grateful to the many Strawberrians who have come to Westside and helped to sustain the festival!

Thank you for your continued support,

Strawberry Staff
