Have a berry good time at the Blueberry Festival at Keel Farms, every weekend in April

The four weekend event featuring the spring blueberry harvest, incredible food and activities for all ages is one of Tampa Bay’s most popular festivals.

Keel Farms is once again hosting one of Tampa Bay’s most popular and highly attended events for both locals and visitors, with the annual Keel Farms Blueberry Festival returning every weekend in April!

The 18th Annual Keel Farms Blueberry Festival will kick-off Saturday April 4, 2026, with the Blueberry Festival open from 10 am to 3 pm every Saturday and Sunday in April (except for Easter Sunday April 5). It has become one of the most attended festivals for both Tampa Bay area residents and tourists

The Blueberry Festival spans the acreage of the Keel Farms property at 5210 W. Thonotosassa Road in Plant City, offering fun for the whole family amid the beautiful backdrop of the Keel + Curley Winery and farm.

This family and pet friendly celebration of the blueberry harvest features local food trucks, craft vendors, a kids’ zone, bounce houses, camel rides, a petting zoo, blueberry shortcake eating competitions, u-pick blueberries, games, and special blueberry releases by Keel + Curley Winery and Keel Farms Agrarian Cider.

“Our Blueberry Festival is our most popular event,” said Clay Keel, President of Keel Farms. “Many families have made this a springtime tradition, and we love welcoming them back every year. For newcomers, get ready to be blown away. There’s no other festival in Tampa Bay where you can take a camel ride, drink a blueberry cider, shop local vendors, have a great meal and leave with buckets of blueberries.”
