What happens here

These are recurring annual events, not a dated calendar. We list the pattern — the month, and the weekend a thing has always fallen on — because a stale date is worse than none at all. Confirm this year’s dates with the organiser before you book anything.

    Speckled Perch Festival and Parade

    The oldest celebration in Okeechobee, running since 1965. It began by honouring the fishing industry with a parade and a fish fry in Flagler Park at the height of the tourist season; the Saturday parade still steps off at 10am.
