Every spring, the Florida Strawberry Festival welcomes visitors to enjoy live music, rides, games, food and more underneath the Florida sun.
The festival began in 1930 when members of the newly organized Plant City Lions Club conceived the idea of an event to celebrate the bountiful harvest of strawberries. Now, people come from all over Florida and beyond to celebrate together as community.
This year’s festival includes a massive line-up of live performances, including Reba McEntire, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Patti LaBelle, Rascal Flatts and more. Headliner tickets go on sale Dec. 12 at 8 a.m.
