The 66th Annual Strawberry Parade and Strawberry Stomp 5k have been postponed; However the Strawberry Festival will continue. The City of Garden Grove, the Garden Grove Strawberry Festival and Sister City Association of Garden Grove made the decision in coordination with public safety and emergency response partners as City resources continue to be dedicated to an active incident response occurring elsewhere in the community.

“Our priority is ensuring City resources remain focused where they are needed most while continuing to support the safety and well-being of our community,” said Mayor Stephanie Klopfenstein. “We appreciate the public’s understanding and continued support of the Strawberry Festival and all of the individuals who help make this event such a special tradition for Garden Grove.”

The City and Festival Association are working together to evaluate scheduling options and will provide updates regarding future event dates as information becomes available.

“While we know this is disappointing for residents, participants, and visitors, we support this decision and appreciate the collaboration with the City and our public safety partners,” said Strawberry Festival Association President Steve Sanders.

Updates on festival activities and any rescheduled events will be shared through City and Strawberry Festival communication channels. For the latest information regarding the City’s emergency response, visit ggcity.org/emergency or call the Garden Grove Emergency Hotline at (714) 741-5444.
