Speckled Perch Fest

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.
