Brief History
The concept of the Strawberry Festival became established during the 1930s when the newly structured
Plant City Lions Club came up with the idea on how to bring neighboring communities together –
a celebration of the strawberry harvest.
Additional local organizations (including the American Legion Post #26) would later join the Lions Club in
planning the festivities.
Today, the Florida Strawberry Festival Association is headed by a board of directors within the local
community that work year-round to create an event that serves as one of the top food-related tourist
attractions in the state.
