The sweet tradition continues in LaSalle! As we prepare for the annual LaSalle Strawberry Festival, we are looking for volunteers to help clean strawberries on: 

 Wednesday, June 4, 2025
6:00 pm to 9:00 pm
Event Centre at LaSalle Landing, 970 Front Road

No need to register in advance – Just show up at the Event Centre by 6:00 pm. Whether you can spare an hour or stay the whole evening, your help is greatly appreciated! High school students can earn community service hours. Volunteer forms will be signed on-site. 

Parking is available at the Event Centre by entering the parking lot from Bouffard Road. Additional parking spaces are available at the Riverdance building, which is a short walk to the Event Centre. Guests can be dropped off at the Event Centre before parking. Pets are not allowed, except for service dogs. For more information, email events@lasalle.ca

Each June, the Town of LaSalle orders about 300 flats of fresh, locally grown strawberries from Raymont’s Berries in Cottam to serve at the festival.

The LaSalle Strawberry Festival runs from Thursday, June 5 to Sunday, June 8 at the Vollmer Recreation Complex, 2121 Laurier Parkway. Strawberries and ice cream can be purchased during the festival at the strawberries and ice cream tent run by volunteers of Life After Fifty.
