Strawberry Festival at Onderdonk House in Ridgewood on Saturday

Ah, strawberries. They are great fresh, frozen, and drowned in brandy. They add life to milk, yogurt, pie, smoothies, peanut butter sandwiches, and even certain perfumes and cosmetics.

This Saturday, the Onderdonk House will host its Family Strawberry Festival in conjunction with Flag Day. Of course, strawberry shortcake and Old Glory will be front and center, but attendees can also expect classic cars from the East Coast Car Association, live music, tours of the historic Dutch Colonial stone house, old-fashioned games, and a hilarious pie-eating contest.

Details: Family Strawberry Festival, Onderdonk House, 1820 Flushing Avenue, Ridgewood, June 13, noon to 4 pm, $1-$5.
