Florida residents and visitors will gather as part of a statewide Florida State Parks Love Fest to celebrate and defend Florida’s public conservation lands. The event will bring together community members to both highlight the importance of preserving our parks and call on state leaders to do what it takes to protect them from development threats.

Meet us at picnic pavilion area (all the way down on the right) for a potluck picnic! Drinks and snacks will be provided–but folks are welcome to bring their own. Attendees are encouraged to make and bring their own sign to show our support for protecting our state parks! We will also have signs and materials on site so you can craft your own message.

We will be on site from 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM

Let’s send a clear message that our parks are for nature, not developers. #SaveOurParks #FloridaStateParkLoveFest

Background: Last summer, Florida’s public lands and wild places came under threat from Governor DeSantis’ plan to build golf courses, hotels, pickleball courts, and more in our state parks. In less than 9 days, protests across the state drawing thousands of activists shut down that threat.  Now there are two bills moving through the legislative process, that as currently written/amended cannot prevent the development threats we fought last year. Join us to show our elected officials that Floridians want nothing less than true protection free of loopholes for our state parks!
