Strolling Strasburg: Summer Events
Jun 9, 2023
Today's Strolling Strasburg conversation with Olivia Hilton, Director of Strategic Initiatives for the Town of Strasburg was a rundown of several events and happenings going on in June & July. First, Olivia gave us a recap of "Pizza Week" and told us about the winners and community involvement.
Then we dived in to talk about the lineup for Front Porch Fridays which kicked off on Friday, June 2, 2023, with a performance by Ryan Jewel. The Front Porch Fridays Music Series features a local/regional band, plus brews/snacks for sale from a local non-profit. The community is invited to bring their lawn chair, snacks, (and bug spray) to enjoy live entertainment at the Strasburg Square every Friday in June, July, and August beginning at 7pm.

Olivia gave details for the 5th Annual Fish Fry Float for Father's Day and explained why that event might be getting a name change. She told us how the event has changed this year and who a few vendors/demonstrators will be. This FREE family event happens in the Strasburg Town Park from 11am - 4pm on Sunday, June 18, 2023, and features community partners like Friends of the North Fork of the Shenandoah River and the Lord Fairfax Soil and Water Conservation District. There will be live music, food trucks, yard games, inflatables, kids' activities and games, a free kayak float (click here to register), and a free tube float (click here to register.)

We learned about a new partnership with Strasburg Museum that will take over the existing museum space within the Visitors Center, plus we got details for July 4 fireworks.
Before we wrapped up, Olivia talked about the new Sensory Music Garden that will be coming to Strasburg Town Park in July thanks to Strasburg Rotary.
