Q: Why were the little strawberries upset? A: Because their…read moreparents were in a jam! This is my second time at the Pine/Strawberry Summer Festival [back then, it was known simply as the "Strawberry Festival"]. The first time I came here, it was a humble-sized event with mainly arts & craft tents. This second trip had disappointingly similar results. We took the 1.5 hour drive to snap a few photos, pet a few dogs, and eat some treats like Indian Fry Bread and bratwursts [which we can get for cheaper and better in the valley]. They sold jewelry, soap, dog leashes, pepper jelly, and flower crowns. I was pretty disappointed that we pretty much drove all the way here just to walk around and peek at some small tents. The most fun we had was visiting their "mall" on-site which was basically a thrift shop. My friend made out like a bandit with sewing/knitting supplies. I did enjoy the cinnamon rolls with the chocolate and vanilla sauce and topped with bacon brittle from Sassy's Cafe & Bakery. They apparently are located in Mesa! Yes! Must visit! As for strawberry items, the only ones present were in our hats and headbands that we made for the event. We were more festive than the townsfolk! They did apparently sell their advertised "Strawberry Treats" with strawberries from California. Strawberry shortcake, strawberry floats, chocolate-dipped strawberries, et cetera... all stuff you can get in town! Save your gas, y'all! If you live in the general vicinity, I guess it could be fun. I wouldn't make a special trip out here to though.

The cornfield ready for harvest is only accessible via the little train. We'll try the corn harvest again next year. We ordered food and drink and ate it out in the shade of the patio. The grandma's homemade pie was raw on the bottom. The rest of the pie was delicious, though! The sourdough peanut butter & strawberry jelly sandwich really hit the spot after walking all the way out and back to/from the cornfield in the warm sunshine. We bought frozen meat and frozen dessert pies to stock our home freezer. Mortimer Farms is a beautiful place to enjoy the outdoors.

If you are a group of adults only, stop at the store, but give a pass to the Halloween Pumpkin Farm.

My husband and I attended Pickin in the Pines for the first time in August 2024. We really like it…read more We arrived early so we got seats with backs under the shaded band shell. Other people sat on the lawn with blankets or short lawn chairs. The music festival was fun and offered lots of good music. I bought a CD called Greener Pastures-Never Come Down. I have played it many times and hope to buy another. I would love it if more bands brought CDs to sell. I am not a Spotify person, buying Internet music. I really liked the Mountain Time Ramblers (who are from Flagstaff and play first Friday at Mountain Top Brewing) and would have bought a CD but they didn't have any for sale. In summer 2025 we hope to attend more days than one. We will attend the daytime events. Camping is available for a limited lucky few. The event sells food and beverages. They have flush toilets

Demanded that paid ticket holders avoid the area behind the fence for "200 yards". Police preyed on elderly ticket holders sitting & enjoying the music & threatened with a " citation for trespassing". Last 5 years sitting by the fence was no problem. Put up a tall black wood panel added to the existing fence. Added lots of extra fencing to inconvenience & confuse ticket holders. Many people will not be returning next year. Pepsi Amphitheatre " management" does not care about attendees. Only collecting their money & profits. The spirit of the festival has been ruined. And they disrespected the musicians...

It feels like a small town where everyone knows everyone. Great food every year by Steve's BBQ, the ladies in the booth with cheese crisps and hatch chile burritos, Pony Espresso drinks and smoothies, and AJ Masamas Fry Bread. Wonderful entertainment over the years by acts like Skip Banks, Greg Frisbee, Godfrey the Magician, The Conjurer, Slim and Curly aka Fables of the West, Matt Baker, and many more. Love that they have some form of entertainment strolling the grounds on a regular basis. One thing I truly miss is the music of George Johnson. He was a staple at this fair for close to 20 years (17 or 18, I believe). There are so many people that still talk about him each year and wish he would return. Many kids in the area grew up dancing in the covered area near his music tent. Hopefully, that tradition can be revived in the future. We have seen several fun bands on the main music stage also. Two favorites are Checker'd Past and Eric Dodge. Fun 80's music and some good ol' country music. The fair makes the most of the space they have and have the rodeo grounds, games , and carnival rides mostly to one side with rides extending along the back of the fair past the main stage. We have seen improvements made over the years, especially to the animal areas. Nice to see a fair reinvest in its own grounds and buildings to improve the overall experience. Weather can be odd from year to year. Last year it was very rainy and cold and other years it has been very hot and dusty. Can be very windy also so you may want to secure that hat on your head or have a tie so it doesn't completely blow away.

It is a beautiful park, surrounded by trees and a very relaxed atmosphere. It is also very intimate and low key, making it easy to get some wine and food from the vendors. The ticket price is $30 which is fair since it is all you can eat and you get 4 wine sampling tickets (although some places don't take your tickets). There were about ten food vendors and the best had to be Cottage Place which served up beef with potatoes au gratin. We were lucky to win tickets through Friends of Coconino County Parks, but I would gladly pay the $30 next year to go again.
