West Tennessee Strawberry Festival sees exciting rebound after last year s COVID cancellation

View Comments Humboldt welcomed its 83rd annual West Tennessee Strawberry Festival this week with a massive outpouring of local residents ready to celebrate the city’s biggest week of the year. Kicked off with Monday’s Prayer Breakfast, the long-anticipated extravaganza hosted firework shows, parade floats, pageants and cook-offs. “It was kind of sad that it was cancelled!” said festival attendee and Humboldt resident Carol Moore, as she watched Friday’s parade from her lawn chair. “We were so used to coming. But it is what it is, for safety reasons.” The festival has only been cancelled twice since its inception in the 1930s once, during World War II, and most recently due to the pandemic.
