LONGWOOD, Fla. – Come and celebrate the strawberry season in Seminole County at the Longwood Strawberry Fest. This family-oriented event offers a variety of enjoyable activities, music, and delicious sweet treats at Reiter Park.
The festival on Saturday teases mouthwatering strawberry treats, from fresh-picked berries to decadent desserts, according to its website.
All ages are welcome, with activities including face painting, games and a kid’s zone for $5 per child.
