The 2019 Festival and special event season has kicked off in Northwest Florida, recently celebrating the St. Andrews Mardi Gras in Panama City as well as in Pier Park in Panama City Beach, soon to be followed by a plethora of events highlighting the culture, heritage, atmosphere and quality of life in rural Northwest Florida.
Coming soon will be the 2019 Watermelon Festival, this year on Friday, June 28 and Saturday, June 29, and once again ‘Real Florida Magazine’ will document the festival in photos and video clips, as it has for the past dozen years.
Here’s a photographic retrospective look all the way back to the 2009 Panhandle Watermelon Festival, when we had more hair, fewer wrinkles and even fewer pounds, as seen by Real Florida Media, a subsidiary of The Gouldng Agency in Chipley, Florida.
