See speakers such as the legendary Gladesmen, Franklin Adams and historian Thomas Lockyear, watch traditional Seminole boat carving demonstrations by Pedro Zepeda, enjoy live music from local artists and much more for an afternoon of learning and fun! With kid’s activities, swamp buggies, airboats and more, there are opportunities for the whole family to learn and get involved! Join us for the Swamp Heritage Festival on December 2nd, 2023 from 10am until 3pm. The goal of this festival is to shine a spotlight upon the inhabitants of early south Florida, whose rugged strength and pioneering spirit contributed to the shaping of today's unique and diverse culture. Through living history demonstrations, informative presentations, and exhibits everyone can learn what daily life was like in such a remote, and at times, inhospitable place. It is these unique chapters in American history that add to the rich and colorful tableau that comprises our shared past and present. In 2023, we are bringing back this perfect example of collaboration and community in order to share the knowledge and cultures of the past. Location: Big Cypress National Preserve Nathaniel P. Reed Festival Grounds 33000 Tamiami Trial East, Ochopee, FL 34141 This is a FREE event!
