Each year, the festival's unique theme offers guests a glimpse into what to expect during the 11-day spring festival and allows vendors to get creative with their floats, displays and new food offerings.
This year's artwork features the familiar strawberry mascot sporting futuristic sunglasses with a peace sign on one hand and a strawberry shortcake in the other. Of course, there's also an astronaut and a couple of UFOs in the background.
“The sky’s the limit,” Robinson previously said in a statement. “Our board of directors, staff and maintenance crew have been hard at work this summer planning and preparing an ‘out of this world’ experience for all our guests. We look forward to welcoming visitors from far and wide to BerryFest24!”
