Thousands of people are expected to attend the fourth annual Strawberry Festival in Moulton this May, and vendors, sponsors and volunteers are needed to make the fundraiser successful.

While the strawberry takes centerstage, the family-friendly event — scheduled May 4-5 — also offers free inflatable activities for children; a display by Lawrence County firefighters and rapid response volunteers; a classic car, truck and motorcycle show; arts and crafts; a mud volleyball tournament; a 5K and 1-mile fun run; and live music. Festival hours are 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. May 4 and 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. May 5.

Admission is free.

Proceeds benefit the Jesse Owens Runners’ Club and local schools.
