A lot to Celebrate in Everglades City

Big things are happening on Saturday, April 29, in historic Everglades City with the celebration of the 95th Anniversary of the opening of the Tamiami Trail AND the 25th Birthday of the Museum! The festivities include a parade, lunch with music by the Naples Jazz Band, Laundry Cart races, and a Birthday Cake.

To complement those events, Everglades City is hosting Art-in-the-Glades where local artisans will sell their work from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM under the pavilion in McLeod Park.

This family fun day is free of charge. Everyone is welcome to explore our first County seat while visiting. For more information phone Marya at 239-451-0265.
