CPRST Celebrates Record-Breaking Success at 2025 Strawberry Festival

The Alabama Strawberry Festival has once again proven why it's one of Cullman's most beloved events. This year's festival shattered previous attendance records, drawing visitors from an impressive 20+ states, including guests who traveled all the way from California to join our community celebration.

Under the leadership of our Executive Director Nathan Anderson, we're thrilled to report that the 2025 festival featured over 120 vendors offering an amazing variety of arts, crafts, and delicious food options. The fresh strawberry sales hit an all-time high, demonstrating the enduring appeal of our region's agricultural heritage.

We're particularly proud of the improvements made to enhance visitor experience, including the successful introduction of Senior Day at Depot Park and expanded parking facilities to accommodate our growing crowd sizes. Our collaboration with local businesses, especially in the Warehouse District, helped create a festival experience that extended beyond the main venue and into Cullman's charming downtown area.

Mayor Woody Jacobs' praise of the festival's community and economic impact reflects our commitment to maintaining local charm while welcoming visitors from near and far. As we look ahead to next year, we're already planning additional improvements to make the festival even better.
