Meghalaya Tourism runs the Strawberry Festival in the strawberry-growing villages around Shillong, with farm visits, picking, local food stalls and music.
In 2026 it began at Smit, near Shillong, on 25–28 February and moved to Sohliya (Umsning, Ri-Bhoi) and Tura on 4–7 March. The 2025 edition was in May, so the dates genuinely move around.
The 2027 dates haven’t been announced yet. We check local news and the government three times a day and will put the dates here as soon as they're confirmed.
Tips for visitors
- Check the year’s announcement before planning around it.
- Smit is about 40 minutes from Police Bazar by car.
