Plant City, FL | March 2nd – 12th 2023
Family-friendly fun & the very best Florida strawberries
The Florida Strawberry Festival only comes once per year, join us for 11 days of endless entertainment and don’t forget to pick-up your Wish Farms strawberries.
Festival History
Since the first Florida Strawberry festival in 1930, the festival has brought the community of Plant City together to showcase agriculture and the area’s infamous crop – The Florida strawberry. The festival began as a way to celebrate the community’s harvest, and while the festival has preserved its agricultural focus, it has grown to include rides, concerts and entertainment, youth livestock competitions, and of course LOTS of strawberry treats.

As one of the largest USDA Certified Organic grower of berries in Florida, we have acquired a lot of knowledge when it comes to sustainable methods for fighting pests! One of which is releasing beneficial predators into the strawberry fields via drone (aka bugs that will eat the smaller bugs that harm the berries)!
