Southold Town Police have released their parking and traffic plan for this weekend’s Strawberry Festival, which takes place at the Strawberry Fields fairgrounds on Route 48 in Mattituck. Traditionally the festival weekend is one of the busiest of the year on the North Fork.

Police are encouraging festival bound traffic from points west on Saturday and Sunday to use off-site parking at Martha Clara Vineyards, where they will be transported to the festival courtesy of the Mattituck Lions Club.

The Strawberry Festival is the Mattituck Lions Club’s main fundraiser of the year and takes place annually on Father’s Day weekend. Hulling night takes place on Thursday at 5 p.m. The festival begins Friday at 5 p.m. and continues on Saturday from 11 a.m to 11 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
