The festival runs from February 26 – March 8.  Tickets are $10 for Adults and $5 for Children.  Also, be sure to check out the nightly concerts.  The fair tends to attract a few big country names each year (sorry kids, if you didn’t catch Taylor Swift today, you’re out of luck).  For more information, please check out www.flstrawberryfestival.com.  You can also find the fair on Facebook and Twitter (@flstrawberryfst).
