Railroad-era city, Strawberry Festival home and walkable brick downtown
Plant City is an incorporated city in northeastern Hillsborough County, along Interstate 4 roughly midway between Brandon and Lakeland.
The Florida Strawberry Festival, held each late winter on fairgrounds in Plant City, is the city's signature event.
I-4 serves the city from several exits, US 92 runs through the center, and State Road 39 crosses it. Downtown is the easiest part to explore on foot, while parks and the fairgrounds are a short drive.
