If you ask us, Christ Church Cathedral's annual Strawberry Festival is one of the best days to work downtown.

Driving the news: The 57th year of the festival, during which the church sells homemade strawberry shortcakes on Monument Circle, is tomorrow.

By the numbers: Hundreds of volunteers spend a week baking more than 15,000 shortcakes in the church basement, using a closely guarded recipe.

Of note: Construction on the Circle means you can't eat your snack on the steps of the monument this year, but the church will have tables and chairs.

If you go: The festival starts at 9am and runs until 4pm or when they sell out, which usually happens, so don't wait.
