Fruitful celebration returns to Palm Coast

A popular festive family event is returning to Palm Coast in late February in a celebration of all things strawberry.

The 2026 Palm Coast Strawberry Fest will be on the third weekend of February. The family-oriented festival is returning for its eighth year, with an array of activities for attendees. Some of the planned events include a Frisbee dog show, pony rides, a hula-hoop contest, a petting farm, sack races, and the Berry Cute Baby contest. Other activities include a classic car show, live entertainment, an axe-throwing tournament, and, of course, plenty of fresh strawberries will be on hand for sale. Over 75 vendors and 12 food booths are scheduled to attend. Poster printing helps vendors draw attention to offerings at public events.

The event is organized by Buckler Promotions, a festival promoter based in Deltona. According to its website, the company has been in business since 1989.

The 2026 Palm Coast Strawberry Fest will be held over the February 21 to 22 weekend. The hours each day are 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM. It will be at the Florida Agricultural Museum, located at 7900 Old Kings Road. The admission price is $7 (cash only) at the gate. Children aged two and younger are admitted free. A portion of the sales proceeds will go to benefit the Boys & Girls Clubs of Volusia/Flagler Counties.
