The Strawberry Festival is an annual 11-day event in Plant City, Fla. It has live entertainment, attractions and of course strawberry desserts! If you’re at a loss at which artists performing at the Strawberry Festival to watch and when to see them, I’ve compiled a guide using my country music expertise.

March 3 – This is the first day of the festival. There will be three different shows with three different artists. I would recommend going to see the band, Lady A, at 7:30 p.m. This country music band has so many good songs that just make you want to sing and dance along. My top three songs of Lady A’s, that I would look forward to them performing, would be Need You Now, Just A Kiss and You Look Good. But, before you hear Lady A, make sure you get some strawberry shortcake!

March 9 – Jake Owen, another country artist, performs at 7:30 p.m. Owen has so many hidden gems. He’s had a little under 10 number one songs, but almost all of his songs are good. I definitely recommend grabbing a strawberry or two and watching his performance. If I was going to see Owen perform, I would hope he would sing Made For You, Barefoot Blue Jean Night and American Country Love Song.

March 12 – If you’re looking for some comedic singing, Bobby Bones and the raging idiots will bring you some laughter. I have heard some of the songs they have written and they are hilarious. They’ve got a little bit of a country tune and the lyrics are something I definitely recommend trying to hear. Okay okay, there have been multiple country artists so I’ll give you one that isn’t. Nelly is a hip-hop/ R&B rapper. He’s got some groovy songs that make you want to dance. My top three songs of Nelly’s would have to be Dilemma, Ride Wit Me and of course the classic Hot In Herre. I could envision myself getting into these songs for sure.

March 13 – Reset your memory of Mar 13, 2020 with a great performance by Sam Hunt. Hunt is a country artist but he brings a little pop flair into his songs. Out of the entire strawberry festival lineup, he is the one person that I want to go see. My top three songs of Hunt’s, that I would want to see him perform, would be one of his most recent songs 23, Ex To See and my favorite, Break Up In A Small Town.

Now here is where they get you. Buying the concert ticket does not include admission. You will have to pay an additional $5 for children 6-12 and $10 for adults 13 and older.

Go get your tickets right now! I know I am. I have never been before but I am so excited to get my cute little country outfit on and jam my heart out. I know I wouldn’t want to miss out on all the fun and attractions.
