The Speckled Perch Festival, hosted by Okeechobee Main Street, is the oldest celebration in Okeechobee, dating back to 1965. At that time, the festival honored the fishing industry with a parade and fish fry in the park, and the tradition continues today. There will be local talent, food, arts and crafts, and fun. The two-day festival also includes a Saturday morning parade that sets the stage for the remainder of the weekend.
