HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, Fla. — The Florida Strawberry Festival has released its lineup of headline entertainment artists for the 2022 event. 

The 87th annual Florida Strawberry Festival will take place March 3-13. The 11-day community event celebrates the strawberry harvest of Eastern Hillsborough County. 

The theme of this year's festival is 'We're #1 for FUN!' — as a way to bring people back together to celebrate fairs and festivals like this one. 

The event usually brings in over 500,000 visitors each year to enjoy the festival's headline entertainment, youth livestock shows, exhibits, and, of course, the strawberry shortcake.
