Forrest Frank Breaks All-Time Attendance Record at Florida Festival

The Florida Strawberry Festival has a new name at the top of its record books. LF Radio artist, Forrest Frank has officially become the bestselling concert artist in the festival’s history, drawing a crowd of 10,962 fans to his headline performance in Plant City.

The milestone performance surpassed previous attendance records held by some of the biggest names to appear on the festival’s main stage, including Reba McEntire, Boyz II Men, and Lynyrd Skynyrd, all artists who have historically drawn crowds around the 10,000 mark for their shows at the event.

Held annually in Plant City and often called the “Winter Strawberry Capital of the World”, the Florida Strawberry Festival is one of the largest festivals in the Southeast, drawing more than 650,000 visitors across its 11-day run and featuring major national touring acts each year.

Forrest Frank’s record setting show reflects his remarkable surge in popularity over the past year. Known for his blend of upbeat pop production and faith centered lyrics, Frank has built a massive fanbase through streaming platforms and social media, where songs like “Good Day” and “UP!” have gained millions of listens and viral momentum.

That momentum translated directly into ticket demand at the festival. Fans packed the concert venue well before showtime, creating an atmosphere organizers described as one of the most energetic and enthusiastic crowds in the festival’s 90 year history.

The new record places Frank alongside a long list of legendary performers who have headlined the festival stage over the decades, from country icons to rock and R&B greats, but his 10,962-person crowd now stands alone at the top of the attendance chart.

For the Florida Strawberry Festival, the moment highlights the continued evolution of its entertainment lineup and the growing impact of faith driven pop music on mainstream audiences.

With nearly 11,000 fans singing along, Forrest Frank didn’t just perform at the festival, he made history.
