Plant City’s Blueberry Festival is more than an event—it’s a Florida rite of spring. At the heart of it all is Keel Farms, the cherished agricultural oasis just 15 miles east of Tampa. Each April, the 17th Annual Blueberry Festival turns the farm into a sprawling celebration of fresh fruit, family fun, and local flavor. With its blueberry harvest, vibrant energy, and deeply rooted traditions, this event has grown into a beloved annual highlight for the Tampa Bay area.
