Florida Strawberry Festival Drops Massive 2026 Lineup

November 15, 2025

Listen up, Miami! While we’re all about the beach life and the endless sunshine down here, there’s one annual event that’s totally worth the short trek up the road: The legendary Florida Strawberry Festival! And guess what? They just dropped their full entertainment lineup for the 2026 season, and it’s looking fire.

This massive event, taking place in Plant City from February 26th through March 8th, is seriously one of the biggest and best festivals in the state. Forget just the strawberries (though those are amazing); this thing is a full-on spectacle with live music, local vendors, insane amusement rides, animal exhibits, and every single strawberry-inspired snack you can imagine.

estival officials announced that this year’s theme is “Still Growing,” a perfect nod to the event’s deep agricultural roots and its commitment to constantly expanding its entertainment game.

And speaking of entertainment, they pulled out all the stops for the 2026 concert schedule. Get ready to jam out because the headliners span every genre:

Country Superstars: Dierks Bentley, Riley Green, and the iconic band Alabama are all hitting the stage.
Pop/Rock: The Offspring is locked in for those who need a little edge, and Lauren Daigle brings the Contemporary Christian star power.
Timeless Talent: They also brought back some serious classics like The Oak Ridge Boys, Jo Dee Messina, and The Bellamy Brothers.

Plan Your Trip Up North!

If you’re planning a little road trip from Miami (and trust me, you should), make sure you check the schedule! Daily concerts are set to go off at 10:30 a.m., 3:30 p.m., and 7:30 p.m. throughout the 11-day festival.

We’re expecting even more performers to be announced as we get closer to February, so keep your eyes peeled. Time to trade in your pastelitos for shortcake and get ready for a little taste of authentic Florida fun!
