48th Annual Cracker Christmas at Ft. Christmas Park, Christmas, FL
Each year, Cracker Christmas brings the community together to celebrate Florida pioneer life and the history of Christmas, Florida. What began around 1977 as a small local gathering has grown into the Fort Christmas Historical Society’s largest event at Fort Christmas Historical Park.
Held on the first full weekend in December, this two-day event features live historical demonstrations, handmade crafts, local vendors, food booths, and displays from community organizations. The name “Florida Cracker” comes from the cracking sound of the whips early settlers used while herding cattle.
