All week long we’re spotlighting groups participating in this year’s . Today: Alvéole! Alvéole are a company who set up and maintain urban beehives for clients. Along with our old friends the Philly Beekeepers Guild, Alvéole will be bringing activities and handouts to teach festival attendees all about bees and beekeeping. We’re happy to have them joining the festival for the first time this year! Come get to know them this Saturday!

All week long we’re spotlighting the organizations participating in 2024. Today: Philly Goat Project! The Goat Project are a community group who’ve been based out of Awbury Arboretum since 2018. They provide education, therapy, job training, wellness, and community engagement activities in partnership with the dynamic and delightful capacities of goats. You may have seen them around town shooting photos for their adorable calendars, or in the music video for Philly artist Armani White’s song “GOATED.” The goats have become fixtures of the Strawberry Festival; kids and adults alike love petting them, posing for photos with them, and walking along with their educational Story Walks. Don’t miss them this Saturday!

Spotlight on organizations participating in this year’s : Philadelphia Beekeepers Guild! Since 2009 the Beekeepers Guild have worked to encourage and promote urban beekeeping through fellowship and education, and to raise awareness of the importance of bees to our environment. We love the beekeeping demonstrations and delicious local honey they bring to every festival! In this action-packed shot taken last year, beekeeper Suzanne is demonstrating how honey is extracted from frames.

Spotlight on organizations participating in this year’s : Fair Amount Food Forest. FAFF are our neighbors here in Fairmount Park. They’re a community land project with a mission to, through collective and connective efforts, foster a community-based, publicly-accessible, and educational food forest garden on public land. We love what they do to bring healthy food and enjoyment of the outdoors to the community, and we’re so grateful to have them involved in the festival!

Historic Strawberry Mansion and the Committee of 1926 are pleased to announce a new special exhibit, opening April 20. "Framing Strawberry Mansion: A Philadelphia Landmark Through Artists' Eyes, 1842-2024" aims to compile an overview of artistic depictions of the mansion featuring both new works and pieces pulled from the HSM archives. These depictions provide a lens through which to explore the evolution of aesthetic trends over the last two centuries of the mansion’s existence; the visible changes to the mansion itself; and the overlap between women’s artistic production and social organizing in Philadelphia history.

On view from April 20 until June 23. Access to this exhibit is included with standard admission to the mansion.
