Americans love their festivals and fairs, and when you’re booking flights to Florida, you can expect captivating events throughout the year. The peak festival period is from January to March. The Sunshine State mainstream international festivals kick off the season with the Winterfest Boat Parade, where elaborately decorated vessels travel along a long route. There’s also the Jazz in the Gardens Music Fest, launched in 2008. It’s one of the state’s premier entertainment events, held in Miami Gardens. For ten days of country music, there’s the Island Hopper Songwriter Fest in September, taking place in the barrier islands off southwest Florida. The state also has some quirky and downright bonkers festivals, which are enormous fun. The Bacon & Bourbon Festival in Wellington celebrates all things to do with these US favourites, including serving bacon ice cream if you’re feeling adventurous. The Gasparilla Pirate Fest lets you go into all-out pirate mode, costumes and all. The Worm Gruntin’ Festival is where things get a little weird. It celebrates the day when thousands of Sopchoppy worms gather above ground in Wakulla County. To cap it off, try the Flora-Bama Mullet Toss in April, where the aim is to see who can toss one the furthest across the border into Alabama.
Florida is known for its Southern comfort food – simple rural dishes made with local ingredients, in this case with a marine emphasis. Conch fritters are a classic snack made from bite-sized pieces of fresh conch fried in batter and eaten with tartare sauce. Shrimp and grits is a Caribbean variation on a very traditional southern US staple food. It combines low-country grits with freshly caught seafood in the Creole tradition. No exploration of Floridian cuisine would be complete without trying Gator Tail, a much-loved appetiser here. It’s indeed made from alligator tail, deep-fried in batter. The taste is somewhere between chicken and fish and surprisingly enjoyable. Fried green tomatoes isn’t just a movie – it’s a hugely popular snack in Florida. Slices of unripened tomatoes are (once again) deep-fried in batter and served with a choice of dips. Finally, if there’s any dessert that Florida has given the world, it’s Key Lime Pie. The filling is a rich combination of condensed milk and fresh lime juice, producing a heavenly sweet-sour tart.
It’s the state’s many world-famous tourist attractions that see countless Florida flight deals snapped up each year by visitors from around the globe. There’s Walt Disney World and the Universal Studios complex, where kids and adults flock to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter to take a ride on the Hogwarts Express. Or visit the Kennedy Space Centre, where you can take the Behind the Gates Bus Tour – you can see the Atlantis space shuttle, tour exhibits of famous historical space rockets, and chat with an actual astronaut. The historic Art Deco district of Miami Beach attracts architecture lovers with its fine examples of the style. Nature-lovers can head to the renowned Everglades National Park with its thrillingly forbidding swamps and unique ecosystem. Art lovers shouldn’t miss the Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, with its impressive collection of works from throughout the artist’s life.
