The festival is a collection of family-friendly events that combines the excitement and allure of arts and crafts, livestock presentations, horticulture, fine arts, live entertainment, and of course – amusement park-style rides. The Mighty Bluegrass Show's Carnival provides more than 60 attractions scattered about the Midway.

	Younger guests of the festival may also enjoy their very own Strawberry Patch Kiddy Corral. Contests are the rage at the Florida Strawberry Festival, such as the prizes awarded to babies who highlight the best-decorated diaper. If you dare – you may test your might at the Shortcake-Eating Contest.

The festival also allows school-age children to exhibit their creative side through art and photography, as shoebox floats are placed on display.

The Festival parade features Plant City's "Person of the Year" award recipient, whereas a beauty pageant designates one lucky gal as the festival's "Strawberry Queen."

Overall, both children and adults are able to enjoy an exciting time at the festival, as well as absorb the educational aspect of the festivities, as the agricultural and horticulture displays provide the perfect opportunity to experience hands-on and live demonstrations. Many livestock activities are also held in line with local 4-H clubs.
