On Saturday, April 19, families and friends are invited to participate in activities designed to educate, inspire and empower positive changes to our environment. Experience fine art, great music, living history demonstrations, informative presenters, educational shows and guided tours while enjoying the beauty Wakulla Springs has to offer.
Visitors will be able to hear musical performers whether they find themselves outside on the green or cooling off inside the lodge. Performers for the festival include Coon Bottom Creek, The Bluefin Tuners, Pickin’ and Grinnin’, The Hot Pepper Steppers and many more.
While at the festival, guests can view and appreciate works of art from some of Wakulla’s regional artists. Oil and watercolor paintings, photo art, and historic and contemporary clay sculptures will be on display throughout the day and a silent auction will be held for bidding on the artwork from 10 am to 5:45 pm. Some featured artists include Joyce Papp, Judith Pennington, Carole Robertson, Marty Haythorn, Rod Gasche and more.
Park entrance fees will be waived for participants, but a $6 per vehicle donation to the Friends of Wakulla Springs State Park, Inc. will be welcomed at the entrance station.
