Your guide to the 2025 Florida Strawberry Festival

The Florida Strawberry Festival returns this week, which means 11 straight days of artery-clogging fair food, cows on runways and, of course, fresh berries in Plant City, the "Winter Strawberry Capital of the World." The big picture: The 90-year-old fair is a Florida favorite, luring over 600,000 attendees last year alone. The festival kicks off Thursday, but if you want to see the headline acts, don't procrastinate. Tickets for Reba McEntire have sold out. Here's what to expect. Tickets $15, 13+; $5, ages 6-12; free for kids 5 and under. Pro tip: Save money by buying tickets at these Publix stores ($10, ages 13+; $4, ages 6-12). Discounts are also available on selected days. Parking Spots are available in three lots on Ritter Street off Highway 92 and Highway 574; this parking map has more options. Fees for cars, pickup trucks and vans are $5; vehicles 20 to 40 feet long pay $10; those over 40 feet pay $15.
