Cambridge 2000: Midsummer Common: Strawberry Fair
Description: Midsummer Common: Strawberry Fair |
Strawberry Fair is an annual event held at the beginning of
summer which promotes an alternative lifestyle, in many ways an
imitation of similar events in the late 1960s and early 1970s
(this particular fair itself dates from 1974). Back then the
issues of the day included capitalism, drugs and the Vietnam
War. In 2000 they included capitalism, drugs and genetically
modified food.
The fair did not occur in 2010 because of security concerns
expressed by the police. It started up again in 2011.
