Sponsors are needed to ensure the continued success of the Eastside Heritage Center’s Strawberry Festival in Bellevue.

The festival is currently facing a $30,000 sponsorship shortfall, putting the continued success of the event at risk.

The event is planned for Crossroads International Park on Saturday, June 26 from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Sunday, June 27 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

The festival is a family-oriented, historic community event, featuring fresh strawberry shortcake, historical and agricultural exhibits, food and vendor booths, entertainment, a Classic Auto Show and a Family Fun Area with games, inflatable bouncers, strawberry shortcake eating contests and more.

Sponsorship opportunities range from $250 to $10,000, with a wide variety benefits, including name and logo placement on marketing materials, event signage and radio promotions, recognition on the Strawberry Festival website, and a complimentary booth space at the event.

The Festival is a revival of the original Lake Washington Strawberry Festival begun in 1925 to attract business and residents to Bellevue.
