ABOUT WEEKI WACHEE SWAMP FESTIVAL
Swamp Fest has grown from a small community fundraising festival to an annual event that draws thousands from all over. In 1994 Swamp Fest held its first annual festival in the parking lot at the Weeki Wachee Area Club, soon outgrowing the parking lot it moved around the corner to the Weeki Wachee Christian Camp. The festival remained there for a few years before moving even further down Shoal Line Boulevard to Linda Pedersen Park. In 2013 Swamp Fest made the big move to Weeki Wachee Springs State Park. In 2018 we made the trek back to the swamp and 2024 will be held, once again, at Linda Pedersen Park! *County park rules state that NO PETS are allowed*
