Description
Camp Uzita is the spot where the majority of the park's living history programs are held four days a week on Thursdays through Sundays from December to mid April.
Park Staff and volunteers recreate a working 16th Century camp experience. Here you can watch black smithing, archery contests and hear the roar of an arquebus. Programs and demonstrations run 10a, 11a, 1p & 2p. Topics include 16th Century European and Native American cultures, the legacy of the expedition, and stories about the people who came here with De Soto in 1539.
Our Winter season concludes in April with the annual De Soto Landing reenactment. Come to the park's shoreline and witness a historical recreation of Conquistador Hernando de Soto's landing in Tampa Bay. The landing event is held twice at 10am and 1pm.
