The Strawberry Capital of the World Is Hiding In Small Town Oklahoma And It's As Weirdly Wonderful As You'd Expect

As quirky as it sounds, Oklahoma has a small town that is the Strawberry Capital of the World. Stilwell has held this official title since 1949, and every year they hold a festival in honor of it. Strawberry production has declined in this small town over the years, but the annual festival continues to draw in thousands of visitors every year. It’s weirdly wonderful, and come this May, we think you’ll enjoy a day visiting Stilwell at this beloved festival.

Be sure and follow along on the Stilwell Strawberry Festival Facebook page for information about the 2023 festival.

Believe it or not, we also have a small town in Oklahoma that is the “Watermelon Capital of the World”! The town also holds an annual festival in honor of watermelon. Read more about it in our previous article, “Don’t Miss The Rush Springs Watermelon Festival In Oklahoma.”
