“We pride ourselves on creating a family-friendly event,” Florida Strawberry Festival President Paul Davis said. “We hope this discount offer will allow even more families to enjoy our 11-day event.”
Discounted tickets will be made available in nearly 250 Publix stores throughout Charlotte, DeSoto, Hernando, Highlands, Hillsborough, Lake, Manatee, Marion, Orange, Osceola, Pasco, Pinellas, Polk, Sarasota, and Sumter counties, as well as promoting the festival to their customers. In addition, a select number of stores will also be offering discounted strawberry shortcake tickets to celebrate the yearly festival.
Tickets will be available from Feb. 3 through March 13 and can be purchased at the Publix Customer Service Counter. Advance discounted admission tickets are $8 for adults and $4 for children ages six to 12. Children that are five years old and younger are admitted free with the admission of a paying adult.
“We’re incredibly thankful for our relationship with the Florida Strawberry Festival,” Publix Community Relations Manager Brian West said. “Offering admission tickets for sale at our stores in central and southwest Florida is a great convenience for our customers, and an easy way to save a little money as well.”
Along with their sale of discounted tickets, Publix will also partner with the Festival in hosting Publix Food and Fun Day on Friday, March 4 where festival visitors are invited to present any Public or GreenWise branded non-perishable food item to receive a voucher for $5 of the festival’s $30 wristband.
