Plant City

Fourth of July is fast approaching, which means it’s time to start planning which fun-filled events to attend throughout the greater Tampa Bay region.

A new law that Gov. DeSantis signed this week at the Plant City Strawberry Fest designates strawberry shortcake as the official state dessert. That's leaving a tart taste in the mouths of Key lime pie backers.

Plant City was once known for producing lumber, cotton, citrus and cattle. Here's what changed.

But key lime could keep its title as the state pie.

There may not be the big music names, but the festival will still have live music, food vendors, and plenty of activities.

Thirty vials of COVID-19 vaccine that were supposed to be distributed at the Plant City Strawberry Festival Grounds were instead taken when someone stole a car from a parking lot there Wednesday afternoon.

The decision was made to ensure the safety of visitors during the coronavirus pandemic.
