This years festival will begin with our traditional kick off on Friday evening. Our Friday evening concert in The City Marketplace runs from 6-10, so come join us for music under the stars. We will have flowers, bands, food and fun. It is the best dollar ($1 Admission fee Friday, Saturday and Saturday) you will spend all year. Friday evening is time to share a bite to eat, shake our hips and to celebrate our beloved festival with our family, friends and community. We welcome one and all to enjoy the park after our winter visitors have left and before our warm winds settle in for the summer. Please feel free to bring a chair or blanket. The Huge Exotic Plant Sale will continue surrounded by inspirational music on stage, food, plants and crafts. Proceeds to mainly benefit Charlotte County Historical Center our local museum, and also giving support to Chakulla’s Hunger Bus, singing out for food for all people.
