A beloved family-friendly festival is returning to Plant City, featuring a wide array of activities for kids of all ages.

The 14th Annual Planes, Trains & Automobiles festival will be held the third week of February. The annual event is a celebration of everything that moves us. Attendees can expect to see unusual vehicles of all kinds, as well as familiar favorites. A few of the planned attractions include interactive train displays, a gigantic car show, various aircraft, military vehicles, and first responder equipment.
