’21 Santa Maria Strawberry Festival to be drive-thru affair
SANTA MARIA, Calif. - The Santa Maria Strawberry Festival will take on a new format in 2021. Festival organizers are pivoting to a drive-thru event that they hope will still capture the magic of previous incarnations. Strawberry Cruzin will honor over 34 years of Santa Maria Strawberry Festival tradition.
The decision to switch to a drive-thru format was made in an effort to keep both visitors and staff safe and ensure proper precautions are taken.
The festival will feature dozens of food vendors offering curbside service: Pull your car into the designated space for the vendor of your choice, and the food will come to you.
