Plant City Strawberry Festival – Guide for Family

[fusion_dropcap boxed="yes" boxed_radius="0" class="fusion-content-tb-dropcap"]P[/fusion_dropcap]ublished on 03/12/21: For those who missed our post earlier in the week, this is the last weekend of the Florida Strawberry Festival. The festival is in Plant City about 45-55 minutes from St Pete. Entry fee is for adults and for ages 6 and up. Keep in mind this is the cost to enter and does not include the cost for parking (ours was ), games, rides, and food. You can buy entry tickets online here: https://flstrawberryfestival.com

If you head that way, be prepared for some lines if it’s as crowded as it was last weekend. Despite the crowd, Colt and I certainly had a great time playing the games, eating, and #winning. Sort of like a Vegas for kids.

Live Music

Some noted that without the lineup of musicians this year, the 2021 festival is indeed a bit more geared toward toddlers thru teens. While there was a talented musician playing during our visit, we hear there’s usually a full slate. We love live music, so that will certainly have us back again next year.

Plus loved seeing the look on Colt’s face as he competed in the various games…”that sloth is going to be mine!”. I’m going to miss age 5, despite the occasional parental stress, that I imagine comes with nearly every age.

Mike Braswell is a Tampa Bay Realtor, serving St Petersburg, Clearwater, all nearby beaches and more. Mike and his 6 year old son started LovingStPete in October of 2020 after a difficult year took its toll on local businesses. After being cooped up for portions of 2020 (lockdown) they decided to get out and explore, helping spread the good word about the local area he loves so much. Often even doing gift card giveaways to support local. LovingStPete is now followed by over 27 thousand people on social media! The majority of posts are informative on fun parks, activities, day trips, great restaurants, and in general provide a comprehensive tour of the area! His 6 year old son generally helps him gather the info, providing his wife some 'child-free' time in the process! A win-win, with his son being exposed to many great events and activities in the process.

Soon after receiving his bachelors in Management Information Systems, Mike developed and then operated a vacation rental advertising business for 10+ years as CEO/Owner. The business was eventually acquired by HomeAway/VRBO.

When not spending time with his beautiful wife and energetic son, Mike enjoys boating and is also an avid tennis player. An interesting fact about Mike is that he grew up on an avocado farm with over 15 varieties, some of which you can find in our local Publix/Winn Dixie as his dad still farms the same farm at 87 years old!
