Spring has sprung up in Florida (in fact, it felt like Summer last week). The month of March is the ideal time to attend some of the most fun festivals/events of the year. We’ve narrowed our March list down to a few of our personal favorites that happen to be sprinkled throughout the Sunshine State. We highly recommend planning a weekend getaway and exploring the surrounding areas of these festivals. Their locations are chock full of authentic treasures.
To keep up with our favorite Florida Festivals throughout the year, be sure to follow us on Facebook and visit our Events tab.
