Parking & Accessibility
One of the best festivals in Tampa! Definitely one of the most fun things to do in Tampa when it comes to town!
There is nowhere else to go to get your fix of Strawberry Shortcake!! Try it with the biscuit and the cake... Both are to die for!
Pros: Fresh strawberries, historical exhibits, rides, and delicious food.
Cons: Parking accessibility depends on your time of arrival to the festival. Be prepared to walk if you sleep in late.
