Everglades City Bank at Seafood Festival

It's not just about brews and bikers! There will be great food, star musicians, arts and crafts, and carnival rides at the Everglades Seafood Festival this coming weekend during the Collier Centennial (1923-2023). This remote, rural village was the first County seat and center of population.

For something special, wander along to the old green Bank of Everglades building where you can find out what's happening inside this historic landmark. It's almost 100 years old! The Everglades Society for Historic Preservation is offering Exclusive Tours every hour on Saturday and Sunday from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM. The guided walk-through costs only $20/person and is limited to 10 people so make sure you sign up early to get a slot.

There will also be some amazing aerial photos for sale, all to benefit the renovation effort that will transform the empty shell into a Visitor Center with space for community events and art shows.
