The Florida Strawberry Festival is one of the biggest events of the year not only in Plant City but in the state of Florida. It’s several days of live music, strawberry-centric eats, fun carnival rides, and games. In 2024, it seems the event was bigger than ever. Organizers posted that this year 634,779 attendees made their way to the Strawberry Festival.
“It was an honor to host you, and we appreciate your support of the strawberry industry, our vendors, our livestock exhibitors, and the Plant City community. We’ll see you February 27th-March 9th, 2025!” wrote Florida Strawberry Festival officials on Instagram.

Organizers and staff were prepared for the rush of visitors this season.
“The sky’s the limit,” said Florida Strawberry Festival President Kyle Robinson ahead of the 2024 festivities. “Our board of directors, staff, and maintenance crew have been hard at work this summer planning and preparing an ‘out of this world’ experience for all our guests. We look forward to welcoming visitors from far and wide to BerryFest24!”
The Florida Strawberry Festival represents a piece of Americana, a time in American history when fairs and festivals brought communities together through celebrations of their harvests. It has continued to grow in popularity year after year through the preservation of this heritage. Central to its focus, the Festival continues to preserve and enhance the agricultural and historical legacy of the Florida strawberry.
