Trinity Episcopal Church has been a part of Belleville’s National Strawberry Festival since 1977. From the beginning, we have been serving freshly made glazed strawberry pies and our famous homemade sloppy joes in a comfortable, family friendly atmosphere.
Fifty percent of the proceeds from Trinity’s Strawberry Festival activities are used to support community projects. In years past, the Strawberry Festival has allowed us to support Belleville Emergency Food Closet, Helping Hand Food Pantry, SOS Community Services, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Adopt-A-Child Size, Spirit of Hope Soup Kitchen, Salvation Army, Heifer International, and Whitaker Institute just to name a few. The other half of the proceeds is used to fund special projects and events at the church.
Trinity Episcopal Church is the first Strawberry Festival stop you see on Belleville Road when you exit I-94 heading into Belleville. We will be open on Friday, June 16 (4 p.m. - 9 p.m.), Saturday, June 17 (10 a.m. - 9 p.m.), and Sunday, June 18 (11 a.m. - 6 p.m.) Credit cards will be accepted at the bakery and food tent, the parking is free, and the WiFi is free. Trinity is also one of the National Strawberry Festival Trolley stops.
See below for more details about what Trinity has to offer during the festival.

Bakery
In addition to glazed fresh strawberry pies, our bakery features a variety of homemade treats such as delicious strawberry bread and muffins, regular and no-sugar-added strawberry freezer jam, tangy strawberry tarts, and strawberry cheesecake. Take home some treats for yourself or decorate the pie box or bakery bag for Father’s Day for the perfect gift for your favorite man.
Food Tent
The food tent is a great place to stop for lunch or dinner during the Strawberry Festival. Our homemade sloppy joes have been a favorite of festival goers for 40 years. They are made from scratch in Trinity’s kitchen by the ladies of Trinity from a well-guarded recipe. If you want to try something a little different, the sloppy nachos are a perfect choice. Crunchy tortilla chips are smothered with meaty sloppy joe and nacho cheese sauce; for a spicy kick add a big spoonful of jalapeno peppers. You can also get regular nachos and 100% beef hot dogs jazzed up the way you like them. Be sure to save room for dessert because you won’t want to miss the strawberry shortcake. The light and tender shortcakes, baked special for the festival, are covered with a heaping scoop of sweetened strawberries and topped with real whipped cream. Or you might prefer to satisfy your sweet tooth with a strawberry or hot fudge sundae, a personal glazed pie, a strawberry tart, a slice of strawberry cheesecake or a nice bowl of fresh strawberries to dip in powdered sugar or hot fudge. Thirsty? Festival goers say they wait all year for our sweet and creamy strawberry smoothie. Much of Trinity’s food tent and bakery menu is also available in gluten-free.
Crafters & Vendors
Don’t just stop to eat. While you’re here visit the many crafters and vendors who call Trinity home during the festival. Some of the things you will find at Trinity include honey, lotions, candles, crocheted items, laser wood crafts, jewelry, blown glass, greeting cards, name rings, clothing, dolls and accessories, garden art, quilts, chocolate, Avon, Perfectly Posh, LuLaRoe and many more crafts and vendors.
