Copper Country Strawberry Festival

The Strawberry Festival is held at the Chassell Township Park each year on the Friday and Saturday following the 4th of July (except in years where the 4th falls on a Thursday, Friday or Saturday in which case it is held on the following weekend).

A fun event for all, it includes a children's parade and a full parade, live music, a queen competition, a craft/vendor show, children's games, fish boil and other food options and best of all -- the famous Strawberry Shortcake!
