Scheduled for early April by the Topsfield Garden Club, the EXPO features over seventy exhibitors and vendors and celebrates the coming of spring and the beauty and bounty of Topsfield and Essex County.

Strawberry Festival

The Strawberry Festival is sponsored by the Topsfield Historical Society.   Always held on the second Saturday in June, it takes place on the Topsfield Town Common.  The famous strawberry shortcakes are served in the Emerson Center, and crafters and local non-profit groups are arranged around the Common.  An antique car show spreads across the way in front of the Meetinghouse.
