The annual Baby Parade is held the second Saturday of the Florida Strawberry Festival, rain or shine. Contestants must be ages one through four years and registration is limited to 50 children in each age group. Judges are obtained for each age group and do not have any ties within the Plant City area. The children are judged for the most Beautiful Girl, Most Handsome Boy, Best Costume, Most Personality, and Most Beautiful Float.
The parade takes place at the Strawberry Festival Grounds in front of the GT Grandstands. Trophies are awarded along with ribbons to the winners in each category. The Juniors also arrange entry for the Baby Parade winners from the previous year to participate in the Christmas Parade and FSF Grand Parade.
*All money raised from this event is put towards our Annual Shoe Project.
