Welcome to the 'Fest
The Everglades Festival welcomes everyone of any age.

Our "National Park"
The Refuge is the largest remnant of the northern Florida Everglades in South Florida.  Covering just over 200 square miles of wetland habitat, this is where American Alligators roam throughout. Nearly 260 species of birds fly in for a stopover, rangers lead day and nights guided tours, a terrific visitor center brings the whole habitat to life and even more special events welcome the family and you.
