GeorgeFest keeps Eustis on a small-town birthday calendar
GeorgeFest gives Eustis a long-running George Washington birthday celebration with a parade, carnival, races, music, and downtown energy.
GeorgeFest gives Eustis a town tradition with a little ceremony and a lot of street life.
The event marks George Washington’s birthday in historic downtown Eustis. Its claim to fame is big: Florida’s longest-running Washington birthday event, and the longest event of its kind still running in the United States. The feel is still local: flags, music, rides, neighbors, and downtown streets doing the work.
The lineup can change each year. It often includes a parade, carnival rides, music, contests, vendors, races, and family events. It gives Eustis a week when downtown has a clear center.
If you are new nearby, this kind of event can help you read the town fast. Check current dates, parade route, parking, closed streets, and carnival details before going. Bring water if it is warm, and arrive early for easier parking. A little plan keeps the day easy.
