Florida Strawberry Festival

Thousands of people showed up for the first day of the Florida Strawberry Festival in Plant City yesterday. The 10 day festival running from 3rd, March to 13th, March, got off with a bang.

The weather was joyful and should remain the same through most of the weekend. Cool breezes and the smell of sweet treats wafted down the midway and through the event buildings. Racing pigs and lumberjack competitions, livestock competitions and a photography contest, and exhibits from the (FFA) Future Farmers of America all give the event a real hometown feel plus, of course lots and lots and lots of strawberries.

The Strawberry Festival runs through March 13 in Plant City. Discount tickets are available at certain locations of Sweetbay Supermarkets

Some great music artist are coming to Florida Strawberry Festival. There are concerts every day from classic and contemporary country to rock and roll. Bands include the Doobie Brothers, Lady Antebellum, Clint Black, achybreaky Billy Ray Cyrus, George Jones and Rick Srpingfeild.
