Yes, the annual Florida Strawberry Festival is known for its food – especially, as you would imagine, its strawberry dishes – but it’s also known for its nightly headlining entertainment.
This year, the festival runs February 28 through March 10, 2013. Most nights there are two separate concerts, but on a few nights, there are three. The headliners are mostly country, but there are some classic rock and gospel thrown into the mix.
Here is a rundown of who is playing this year:
- February 28 – Foreigner ($25); Chubby Checker ($15/$20); Jimmy Sturr (Free)
- March 01 – Casting Crowns ($20/$25); Gene Watson ($15/$20)
- March 02 – Justin Moore ($15/$20); Gloriana ($15/$20); Caroline Kole (Free)

Prices listed are just for the concerts. Admission into the festival is separate, and required to view the concerts. There are also a limited number of free seats in the Eye Express Free Grandstands, but those are first come, first served.
This is the 78th year of the fest, and this year’s theme is “Our Masterpiece of Fun.” In addition to the food and music, there will be a carnival midway full of lots of fun rides for all ages to enjoy (for an additional cost).
Florida Strawberry Festival admission is $8 in advance for adults, and $10 during the festival, at the gate. It is $4 in advance for kids 6-12, and $5 at the gate. Children 5 and under are free.
The Florida Strawberry Festival is located in Plant City, Florida. For directions, tickets or more information, visit flstrawberryfestival.com.
