Sweet Fest This Weekend Near Gainesville



The Farm To Family Full Moon Festival happens this weekend, Thursday through Sunday, (Dec. 9-11) in a little piece of paradise near Ginnnie Springs in Gilchrist County, outside Gainesville.

I can't say enough good things about this festival. Super chill, kind people, family friendly, totally relaxing, with just one stage. Set down your chair and your cooler and enjoy the show. You can check out the lineup of regional acts here.

You may not have heard of some of these performers, but trust me, you will enjoy them. It's a mix of folk, jazz, ska, blues, bluegrass, world beat and jam. This is a lovely event, and it is a bargain -- $20 advanced, $25 at the gate. Kids 13 and under are free. Nice spots for shaded camping, a good place to let kids run around. The Grilled Cheese Wagon and a few other vendors provide vittles. There are some great vendors also with handmade items for holiday shopping.

And here's a video by the ska band The Duppies, who play Saturday night:
