But ALSO the St Patrick’s Day Celebration and Parade on Saturday, March 18, 2017. The events will allow families, clubs, churches, civic organizations, schools, as well as a variety of merchants and vendors from all over the region to participate in the fun and excitement of the Valentine Celebration and St Patrick’s Day Celebration’s and contribute in a very special way to the community's effort to raise money for Wakulla County Citizen needs.

We prefer handmade arts and crafts and unusual manufactured products, public service and non-profits. Of course, we have food vendors.
