Florida Strawberry Festival

By Emily Duty • February 8, 2020 • Events

Do you love all things strawberry related? 

Well, so does Eastern Hillsboro County! In fact, they love it so much, they’ve dedicated an entire festival for the last 80-some years to celebrate the harvest of the 10,000 acres of strawberries they plant annually. It’s all thanks to their local farmers and nearly 3,000 farms they have spread out across the county. 

This year’s 85th celebration is coming up. Don’t miss out on what Florida’s Strawberry Festival promises is a “berry sweet time.”

Each year, the festival sees an estimated 500,000 visitors who come out to enjoy free live music, rides, arts, and crafts, adult eating contests and yes, world-famous strawberry shortcakes. If you have a child in your group, they can enter one of the many youth competitions on grounds and win prizes also. 

For an additional ticket, this year’s headline entertainment includes appearances by Reba McEntire, Rascall Flatts, Josh Turner, and 98 degrees.
