As the Annual Panhandle Watermelon Festival in Chipley, Florida kicks off this weekend, on Friday, June 26, 2026 and Saturday, June 27, 2026, we enjoy concerts, a parade, lots of watermelon and some of the best people-watching in the region, and a look back 17 years to the 2009 ‘Miss Watermelon Pageant’ in downtown Chipley, Florida, as seen in these images by Goulding.
