The Two-Toed Tom Festival returns to John Clark Park in Esto on Saturday, September 12, 2026, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., bringing a full day of live entertainment, family activities, food, shopping and festival fun.
This year’s entertainment lineup features live performances by Crews Wright and Mason Browder, along with a live alligator show bringing real gators and an up-close wildlife experience to the festival.
Families can enjoy a free Kids Zone featuring inflatables and a petting zoo. The festival will also include a car show and more than 60 food, craft and specialty vendors — nearly twice the number of vendors that participated in 2025.
Festival visitors will find everything from local food and festival favorites to handmade crafts, clothing, gifts and other merchandise throughout the expanded festival grounds.
The Town of Esto has also expanded the festival layout for 2026, with additional space for vendors and activities and improvements to parking and visitor flow.
The Two-Toed Tom Festival has been an Esto tradition since 1987, celebrating the local legend of the enormous alligator whose distinctive two-toed tracks helped make him one of the best-known pieces of folklore along the Florida-Alabama line.
Admission to the festival is free.
