Where did Strawberry Day come from?
This holiday does not have a strict international framework, but it is most often celebrated in June, when strawberries reach the peak of their taste. In some countries, for example in the USA, Strawberry Day is celebrated on June 20. In Europe, celebrations are most often timed to coincide with the middle or end of the strawberry season.

Strawberries are not just a delicacy. They are a cultural symbol of the beginning of summer, the first real heat, holidays, and carefree walks. It is not for nothing that they are often depicted on summer posters, ice cream packaging, postcards, and even on fashionable clothes.

How to celebrate Strawberry Day?
Here are some ideas on how to make this day special:

🍓 Have a strawberry picnic. Take a blanket, a basket of berries, some champagne or lemonade, and go out into nature.

🍓 Make desserts. From classics like strawberries with cream to creative cakes, cheesecakes, or even pizza with strawberries and basil.

🍓 Visit a strawberry festival. Some cities host fairs where you can try strawberry treats, take part in competitions, and buy berries straight from the farm.

🍓 Make preserves. Jam, preserves, compotes — all this will prolong the taste of summer until winter.
