Florida Strawberry Festival Offers New Stadium Seating for Concert Goers
PLANT CITY, FL (PRWEB) March 01, 2018 -- It’s that time of the year to celebrate Plant City’s Florida Strawberry Festival. The tradition, starting back in 1930, is a celebration to honor Plant City’s strawberry harvest. Each year, the area welcomes thousands of visitors and locals to experience exhibits, social events, family entertainment, and much more on over 10,000 acres of land dedicated to the event. In 2018, Plant City based manufacturer, GT Grandstands, will officially open its newly constructed grandstands built for the Florida Strawberry Festival.
The new galvanized steel grandstand features an i-beam infrastructure with a wraparound design. It includes seating with backrests for all 8,500 spaces and includes inclusive design to accommodate event goers with all abilities. The new structure features more seats for the growing crowds coming from all over Florida and the US, and also elevates the festival’s appeal for future entertainment. The improved, integrated acoustics for the new stadium will provide top of the line concert accommodations for both acts and fans. “These new grandstands will provide improved views to the stage in addition more comfort for viewers,” says Greg Buckner, Vice President and General Manager for GT Grandstands. He adds, “We are excited to provide festival goers a state-of-the-art experience at this year’s event.”
