Mattituck Strawberry Festival — Attraction in Town of Southold

Not Bad, Not Good. If you are coming here for a full blown out Strawberry Festival in relation to Strawberries, don't bother coming. Like many of the others have said - there is one table in the middle selling strawberry daquris (non-alcoholic), strawberry pie, and chocolate covered strawberries. There is a table also as you leave that sells strawberries and chocolate covered strawberries. I will also tell you that they just buy from Driscolls and upcharge the living hell out of you. Next, I gave a $10 donation for parking, but did not expect to be hit with another $20 entrance fee - so keep that in mind. Furthermore, they only had 10-15 booths of vendors that actually were selling arts/crafts - the other vendors were business-type. Additionally, the carnival food stands were hit or miss. For example, my corn dog was cold as ice and $5. My churro was atleast hot and good, another $5. Two lemonades (which were fantastic at the Turkey Leg Vendor) - $8 bucks - not bad for carni prices. BBQ Truck was phenomenal with the food - worth the overpriced $ tag and they were very nice. In conclusion, if you don't mind spending the mandatory entrance fee and all the up-charges, have kids who want to go on rides, or waste 2 hours of roaming around and having some decent bites to eat - then I would suggest it. Final note, theres no way anyone is spending more than 2 hours here - so if you want to see the fireworks at 10:15PM on a Saturday - I would suggest getting there at 7:00PM, roam around, grab a bite to eat, sit down in the middle and then wait for the show - however I remember the fireworks were also...

Do not recommend at all! Hardly anything strawberry themed. One table with strawberry drinks, pie, and fresh strawberries. Planned on buying on way out and they were sold out. Not sure if it's always crazy or people just wanted to be out after pandemic. But we paid $30 per bracelet, $10 per person at the door. The lines were insane. It took 30 minutes to an hour or more per ride. Then the food lines were an hour long as well. They just let way too many people in. You could barely move. All the lines were bumping into each other from food to rides.. We left a little before closing and took almost 45 minutes to get out of the parking lot. When you drive in they have plenty of people directing you where to park but no one directing people out. So everyone is backing into each other, trying to merge.. a zoo! Not worth it at all. It's basically just a carnival with overpriced nasty food and tons of obnoxious large groups of teenagers trying to cut all the lines.. save yourself the aggravation! Trust me! We go to these types of events all the time and would never even consider going back...

This is a carnival with a tent to buy a couple of strawberry themed items, very misleading. Went on Friday, gates opened at 5pm . At the parking entrance was a guy asking for Lions Club Donations i gave him $5 , mistake! At the gate it was a $5 per person entrance fee $10 . Then we went to strawberry tent to buy shortcake and chocolate covered strawberries and coffee, but they weren't opened yet and the chocolate covered strawberries wouldn't be ready for at least an hour. So we thought we'd get some roasted corn , but that concession said it too would be an hour for the corn, so now I'm thinking what did we get for our $5 each, we still had to buy everything else.So 30 mins later we we able to get a shortcake for yep, you guessed it, $5 , we walked around for another 20 mins then left, We thought it would be full of strawberrys to buy and lots of strawberry themed food. There's a great Greek fair close to my house that has Great Greek food and rides and it doesn't charge an entrance fee or ask for donations, so we'll be going...
