In just three days, one of Florida’s best small-town festivals kicks off at the Floral City Strawberry Festival in Floral City! Held March 7–8, 2026 at Floral Park, this beloved event celebrates its 39th year with a full weekend of family fun. Admission is just $5 for adults and free for kids 12 and under. More than 200 vendors and food trucks fill the park, serving fresh strawberry shortcake, pies, lemonade, and other treats made with berries grown just down the road at Ferris Groves. You can watch the Strawberry Princess Pageant, cheer on contestants in the strawberry pie eating contest, and enjoy nonstop live music on the main stage. Kids love the kid zones and the famous Soccer Collies dog show. Be sure to tour the historic Duval-Metz House nearby, the oldest documented home in the area. From fresh berries to live music and small-town charm, it’s a sweet way to spend a spring weekend.
