Google Map
Click here for a Google map which you can use to navigate to the Strawberry
Festival in Portland, Tennessee.
Please note:
!. There are three red "push pins" on the map. These are the locations
of Strawberry Festival Events.
2. Richland Park is shown in green. Google incorrectly shows the
road going into Richland Park as Wiseman Street. The road has been renamed
to America's Way. (The current street sign reads America's Way.)
3. The road just south of the carnival's location is also mislabeled by
Google. Where it says "Sumner St", it should say "Jon Collins Drive."
Parking & Shuttle Bus Service
There is some parking around downtown Portland during the Strawberry
Festival. However, there is a lot more parking available at Richland Park. A shuttle bus will provide continuous service from
Richland Park to downtown Portland. Shuttle hours are from 9:00 a.m. to
5:30 p.m. To enter Richland Park, please turn on America's Way off of
