As one of the oldest Festivals in Florida, the annual Rattlesnake Festival began in 1967 as a small Jaycee project in San Antonio, Florida. In 1973, arts and crafts were added as an important part of the event. This festival is attended by over 8,000 people. People come to visit and take part in the food, arts & crafts, live music, wildlife, children's games, and local history that are highlighted at the festival. Festival admission is $5 and parking is FREE.
Proceeds raised during this event go to the Thomas Promise Foundation (A 501(c)3) to help feed children from food insecure families in Pasco County.
