Wakulla Wonderful: A Community Tradition Since 2019, Wakulla 4-H has led this annual celebration of Wakulla County’s birthday. The event has grown from a courthouse lawn gathering to a street festival incorporating Walk Across Wakulla. The Board of County Commissioners will be asked to declare March 10-16, 2025, as Wakulla Wonderful Week in recognition of the county’s history.

- Read a section of the Proclamation on stage during the event;
- Play another role on stage as emcees;
- Help serve birthday cupcakes to the first 100 people!
