Festivals in Florida
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Festivals in Florida reflect the state's cultural heritage and play an important role in the cultural life of Floridians. They range from city-wide urban celebrations with corporate sponsors to rural fairs with tents and booths in a large field. Many festivals in Florida center around a food produced in the region, such as the Fellsmere Frog Leg Festival in Fellsmere and the Florida Strawberry Festival in Plant City. Other festivals recall Florida history, such as the Gasparilla Pirate Festival in Tampa. Others focus on music, art, or film; yet others center on the religious or ethnic heritage of Florida. Some do none of these, yet are famous nonetheless: Daytona Beach Bike Week, for instance, or Fantasy Fest.
