Or, step back in time at the recreated medieval camp, where visitors watch jousting matches and interact with knights and ladies in medieval costume. The 18th Annual Pungo Strawberry Festival boasts continuous live entertainment on three stages, featuring popular local bands performing a mix of top 40, beach music and country. Rounding out the weekend's entertainment schedule are clogging performances, magic shows and more. The event began in 1983 and is anticipated to draw nearly 150,000 strawberry-lovers to this year's festivities during the Memorial Day weekend. The Pungo Strawberry Festival is produced by a non-profit organization run entirely by volunteers.
Admission is free, and all proceeds are donated to community and civic service groups.
