The 2025 Florida Citrus Show is excited to once again bring you a tailgate gathering. Exhibitors are encouraged to bring tailgate-style food items to share with growers and industry attendees. The trade show, which will take place in the parking lot between the USDA and UF/IFAS buildings, will open to growers for breakfast before and during the general session. Then, from 11:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m., the trade show becomes a tailgate party where growers can enjoy culinary sampling while networking with exhibitors and other attendees.

Each exhibit includes a parking space, a 6-foot table and two chairs. Pop-up tents are available to rent for $150.

The Florida Grower Citrus Show targets citrus growers on Florida's Treasure Coast and surrounding areas. AgNet Media has expanded the show to include the region's vegetable and specialty crop growers, along with new educational sessions geared toward those growers.

The show brings together growers of some of the state’s highest-value crops and will offer a fun and exciting platform for industry networking and interaction.
