Rides
Keep in mind that you do need to purchase tickets in order to ride the rides. You can buy tickets individually, by the group or you can purchase special wristbands for certain rides. All are available for purchase on the festival grounds. Check out the special days and discounts to save some money and get special deals on tickets for rides.
Entertainment
Every day of the festival is full of headline entertainment! Some artists performing at Plant City are Lady A, Boyz II Men, Cole Swindell, Nelly and Sam Hunt, to name a few. Check out the full line up to see performance days and times. You can also purchase tickets online. Keep in mind that a concert ticket does not grant you gate admission., so you’ll need to purchase a gate admission ticket as well.
