The Pasadena Strawberry Festival Photo Challenge was an incredible success, and that’s all thanks to YOU — our amazing photographers! From the sweet smiles of festivalgoers to the vibrant pops of strawberry red, each photo captured a moment, a memory, and the magic of the festival in a way only you could. Your creativity, passion, and talent brought the festival to life through your lens, and we are beyond grateful. This was no easy decision! With so many stunning entries, our directors had a tough time choosing. Every photo told its own story. But after careful consideration — and a few “ooohs” and “ahhhs” — the votes are in. Drumroll, please… The WINNER of the 2025 Photo Challenge is… PHOTO #13 Conner Mills! Your image captured not only the heart of the festival, but awarding you $500.00 Congratulations on this well-deserved recognition… A special shoutout to our Sponsor, Clark Freight Lines and all participants — your work was exceptional, and we hope to see your talent shine again next year. Keep capturing those magical moments!
With “BERRY” much gratitude, The Pasadena Strawberry Festival Team
