Event Centre at LaSalle Landing, 970 Front Road

No advance registration is required, interested participants are encouraged to arrive at 6:00 pm. Whether volunteering for an hour or the entire evening, all contributions are welcomed and appreciated. High school students can earn community service hours, with volunteer forms available and 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 LaSalle Events.

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 11 to Sunday, June 14 at the Vollmer 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.
