Not allowing torrential rains to dampen their spirits, the 57th Annual Wausau, Florida Possum Festival kicked off on Saturday, August 1, 2026 in downtown Wausau with the traditional parade at 9AM, inclusive of first responders, pageant queens, local businesses and politicians, as seen in Part 4 of these images (below) by Goulding.
The event enjoyed heavy rain, smaller-than-normal crowds and cooler-than-traditional temperatures. You may view the entire gallery of images on Facebook at Real Florida Magazine.
