The South Carolina Strawberry Festival is pleased to announce that the fourth annual South Carolina Strawberry Festival Pageant will take place at 7:00 pm on Saturday, April 27th, in the Nation Ford High School Auditorium. Last year, over 800 spectators packed the auditorium to witness the crowning of Chelsea Priest (Junior Teen), Kaylee Wolfe (Teen), Brennan Altman (Miss) and Paula Stone (Mrs.) as our 2012 Strawberry Festival Queens. Now, you can be a part of history as Fort Mill crowns its next generation of Strawberry Royalty!
 
 
In addition to the Strawberry Queen title, our winners will receive a prize package, as well as the opportunity to move on and compete for state and regional titles. As part of their one year reign, our Strawberry Queens will also serve as ambassadors for the SC Strawberry Festival and the Town of Fort Mill at various events and activities throughout the state and region.
 
 
Admission to the South Carolina Strawberry Festival Pageant is $5.00 per person. Tickets may be purchased at the door beginning at 6:00 pm on the evening of the pageant. 

Advance tickets may be purchased at the Peach Stand (1325 Hwy 160) or by contacting the Pageant Director, Patti Mercer, by phone at (803) 487-0426 or by email at pageant@scstrawberryfestival.com. 

We are also pleased to announce a new seating option for 2013: the South Carolina Strawberry Festival Pageant VIP Package:

 
  
The official charity of the 2013 Strawberry Festival will be All Youth on Board (AYOB), a youth-led, school-based coalition committed to fostering healthy and positive lifestyles among the youth of York County. All proceeds from the "People's Choice Award" voting will be donated to AYOB.
