There are two big annual festivals in south central Florida: the Swamp Cabbage Festival in Labelle in February and the Sugar Festival in Clewiston in March. They are similar in that they have a lot of food trucks and vendors of a variety of goods and trinkets and they both have some really fine live music. The big difference is that the Swamp Cabbage Festival celebrates swamp cabbage, which I find disgusting, and the Sugar Festival features sugar. Who doesn’t like sugar?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was also a very nice Seafood Festival at Babcock Ranch in March. I am not sure that is an annual event, but it was similar in that it had good food, good beer and good music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I took photos at all three. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All three festivals were worth investing a day. But if you go and eat at one of these, avoid the swamp cabbage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
