EST 1937
On the third weekend in June, Burlington will explode into a delicious and exciting place to be.
Fresh local strawberry shortcake, spectacular fireworks show, fabulous parades, Kiwanis Salmon BBQ, entertainment stage with live music, nostalgic Berry Cool Car Show and more!
Berry Dairy Days began in 1937 by the local volunteer firemen as a fundraiser for new equipment. The celebration included a parade, carnival and the “Worlds Largest Shortcake” which served more than 5,000 people. By 1965 the Burlington Chamber of Commerce was pleased to become involved with the festival.
Today, Berry Dairy Days is four days of jam-packed fun for the entire family!’’
