With summer officially started, strawberries are on the menu in Wiscasset.

The 61st annual St. Philips Strawberry Festival begins at 10 a.m. Saturday, June 29 at St. Philips Episcopal Church, 12 Hodge St., Wiscasset, and runs until 2 p.m.

The festival features multiple iterations of the small red fruit for strawberry fans and aficionados, including strawberry shortcakes with or without a healthy dollop of homemade whipped cream, chocolate-dipped strawberries, strawberry (and vanilla) ice cream from Lear's, and quarts and servings of strawberries for sale.

There won't be just strawberries; lunch will also available with sandwiches and hot dogs for sale throughout the day.

Magician Amazing Lou will perform at 11 a.m., and there will be a pie auction during the festivities.

The bargain basement will be open during the festival and there will be craft vendors on the grounds and a children's area.
