With 2020 around the corner, anticipation for this year’s annual Strawberry Festival is at an all-time high. Tickets are now on sale to get into in on the food, games, and people-watching. Not into fighting through crowds with kids on leashes? You can now also snag tickets to see headlining musical acts(still a crowd, but less of a chance to accidentally knee a leashed child).

General admission day passes for ages 12 and up are $8, tickets for kids ages 6-12 are $4, and children under the age of 5 get in for free. Tickets to see the Strawberry Festival’s various entertainers range from $20 to $55, with a VIP package for 90s boy band 98 Degrees are going for $194 – $445. 

This year’s headliners are Reba McEntire, Rascal Flatts and Lynyrd Skynyrd, with over 18 other bands and musicians playing over the festival’s 11-day span, running from February 27-March 8. Check out the full lineup at flstrawberryfestival.com/entertainment.

Tickets are also available at the Amscot Main Ticket Office at 2209 W. Oak Avenue in Plant City or over the phone at 813-754-1996.
