The Florida Strawberry Festival is less than three months away, and once again has one hell of a concert lineup coming to the bandstand in 2026.
As usual, pretty much every one of the 11 days includes multiple concerts, each carrying its own separate ticket. With a couple exceptions, concertgoers must always purchase a gate admission ($4.45-$11.05, kids five and under free, with special discounts available daily) to gain access to the concert venue.
Notable headliners include Joan Jett & the Blackhearts closing out the festival on March 8, Riley Green on March 1, The Offspring on March 7.
While both old and new country is well-represented on the bill, pop (Lauren Daigle) and R&B (Brian McKnight with Ginuwine) are on the lineup, too.
Tickets to Florida Strawberry Festival concerts happening in Plant City Feb. 26-March 8 are on sale now. See the full 2026 Florida Strawberry Festival headlining concert lineup, complete with showtimes and ticket prices, below.
