Good evening readers! I hope you enjoyed the month of February as I did. Horror movies, a cruise, etc, it was really jammed packed. But what about March? Let’s brew about it!
Kicking off the month of March is the Strawberry Festival! It is the last weekend so, if you’re coming to Plant City, Florida, make sure you join in on the festivities. I covered the festival last year and had wanted to bring it back in support of the community. Coming up on 2 years of living here, I really enjoy the tight-knit community and the events that are hosted here.
One of the biggest events and there are many at the Strawberry Festival, is the parade. Last year I focused on the rides and exhibits, but this year it was about the local community gathering together and celebrating. The parade is rather large in fact parts of the roads in Plant City get shut down just so it can happen. Local businesses, pageant queens, bands from the local schools, and one of my favorite organizations, The Rough Riders!
The parade was jam packed with music beads and candy were tossed, even books were handed out for kiddos, which I never seen before. Afterwards, it was time for some grub and grabbed a delicious Philly and fries before delighting in a funnel cake while carousing around the local wares.
The Strawberry Festival, is still ongoing until March 8th. So, if you haven’t gone before come check out the quaint but lively Plant City Strawberry Festival. You won’t regret a moment!
As Always Keep In Brewin!
