Wow! A huge country lineup for 2025 Strawberry Festival this year. We are so excited for this years event. All the details were just announced for the 2025 Strawberry Festival. This year it will run from February 27th - March 9th in Plant City, Florida. The festival celebrates the strawberry harvest of Eastern Hillsborough County.  

The Strawberry Festival has been around since 1930. Each spring, when the strawberries are in the full bloom, the city of Plant City invites visitors from all over the world to see exhibits of agriculture, commerce, industry, livestock, fine arts, horticulture, crafts and of course delicious strawberries.

The best thing about the festival is the music. Each year the festival brings in some of the biggest names in country music and this year is no exception. This year we can see Bailey Zimmerman, Nate Smith, Jon Pardi and many more. It's a god idea to get your tickets ahead of time as they will sell out.

Remember, you must buy a ticket to get into Strawberry Fest if you are going to one of the concerts. The concert ticket alone will not get you into the festival. Ticket prices range: Adults (ages 13+): $15 Children (ages 6-12): $5 Children (ages 5 and under): FREE with paid adult admission. Each concert is priced differently.

Tickets will go on sale December 12th at 8am. Click here for more information on discount tickets from Publix. 

This years line up includes: Nate Smith on Feb. 27th, Bailey Zimmerman on March 2nd, Jon Pardi on March 7th, plus Sara Evans, Bellamy Brothers, Nelly, Oakridge Boys, The Beach Boys and many more. Keep listening to 995-QYK to win free tickets into the Strawberry Festival this year. It's going to be another fun year in Plant City between the music, exhibits and of course the delicious strawberries.
