SPRING 2026 WRAP-UP & THANK YOU

And just like that, our 75th festival is in the books! We are filled with so much gratitude for the amazing, passionate, and considerate community of music lovers who made the Spring 2026 Strawberry Music Festival a resounding success.

The Spring 2026 festival was dedicated to our founding father, fearless leader, and friend, Charlie Cran. Thank you for carrying on his spirit through your stories, songs, and participation in this festival, which he loved so fiercely.

Strawberry relies on our enthusiastic volunteers to help make this festival successful, safe, and fun year after year. A heartfelt and huge thank you goes out to the volunteers who contributed their time and skills. Thank you to the diligent crew leaders and coordinators who spend many hours before, during, and after every festival organizing volunteers and juggling various roles and responsibilities.

Thank you to the concessionaires, businesses, and nonprofit organizations who provide unique shopping, music, and art experiences. Thank you to the musicians and performers who shared their talents and passion with us. We would also like to thank the staff and volunteers at the Nevada County Fairgrounds, who have welcomed and supported Strawberry over the last decade.

And last, but never least, thank you to our patrons for literally and figuratively investing in and cultivating an unrivaled and unique music, art, and community experience.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Thank you for your patience while we unpack our supplies and begin to address the following post-festival wrap-up items:

Lost & Found: We will use Lost Forms submitted at the Info Booth during the festival to contact the owners of the items we have found. We will also review any email inquiries submitted to info@strawberrymusic.com. Please let us know if you lost something and have not already submitted a Lost Form. This process may take one to two weeks to complete. We appreciate your patience!
Problem Box (tickets lost/stolen/left at home): Customers who left their tickets at home can avoid the gate charge by mailing unused tickets to the office postmarked by Monday, June 22nd. Lost tickets will be reviewed and reconciled in the order in which notifications were received.
Surveys: We are excited to read your surveys as we work together to improve the festival experience each year! Please find the online version of the Spring 2026 Survey here.

THANK YOU!
