Festival Exper
Laid out over 140 acres, the Florida Strawberry Festival, is expansive, and with so many family-friendly activities, rides, entertainment options and food stalls, it can be difficult to plan a visit.
The Florida Strawberry Festival’s new mobile app makes planning a day at the festival a breeze. The app was designed to provide patrons with comprehensive information and enhance their overall experience. Developed in collaboration with Nebraska-based Grandstand Apps, the app offers a user-friendly interface that allows visitors to access daily schedules, interactive maps, vendor listings, headline entertainment, the livestock show schedule and food and drink options.
Florida Strawberry Festival President Kyle Robinson hopes the interactive map will improve the guest experience. If patrons want a Smitty’s Buttermilk Corndog they can click on the button in the app and a map will show them where the food stand is located. “One of the most frequent questions we get asked is where certain vendors or food concessionaires are located,” he said.
The app also has parking information and allows festival attendees to pin their parking spot so after a long day they can easily find their vehicle.
One of the most anticipated features of the app is the interactive scavenger hunt, offering participants the chance to explore the festival grounds. Beginning at whichever gate you arrive at, follow the BERRY helpful clues to solve riddles. “The scavenger hunt allows patrons to see every corner of the Florida Strawberry Festival,” said Robinson.
Patrons can then bring their completed trivia to the Parke Exhibit Building Information Booth anytime before closing to retrieve a prize. “It’s a surprise prize,” said Robinson.
When completed, you can also share the scavenger hunt fun online with #berryfest24 or #theberryquestival but remember to keep the answers a sweet secret.
The Florida Strawberry Festival app is now available for download on both iOS and Android devices. Visit the App Store or Google Play to download the app today.
