March is looming…what’s going on in Central Florida?
Where on earth is this year going to already? 5 seconds ago I was talking about a New Year and now I’m about to explore what’s happening in March in Central Florida.
Personally I like to use this blog to talk about other things other than the main theme parks. Sure, they’re important and they’re a lot of fun but Florida was here before them and we shouldn’t forget there’s a lot more “normal” stuff happening.
For a start there’s the Florida Strawberry Festival in Plant City from March 4 to 14. Check it out at www.flstrawberryfestival.com and enjoy a visit for some great family fun, midway rides, contests, live entertainment and of course, strawberries galore.
From 6 to 7 March you enjoy the 17th Annual Weeki Wachee Swamp Festival at Linda Pedersen Park in Weeki Wachee. There’s lots of entertainment, country, folk and nostalgia music acts plus clogging, line and other dances. of course “swamp food” will be available. Check the web site www.wwswampfest.com
If you like your history then be sure to check out The Nature Coast Civil War Re-enactment at Crystal River. You enjoy seeing the cannons roar and a real charge of the cavalry as you gaze upon 500 re-enactors portraying soldiers from the North and the South as they recreate a Civil War battle. www.crystalriverreenactment.org is the web site and battle commences on 13 and 14th March.
On 25 March Rollins College music students present a program in honor of the Bach Festival Society’s 75th Anniversary. This is held in Winter Park and the web site for more info is www.bachfestivalflorida.org
Check back often, as I’ll be letting you know more about what’s going on.
