“Cracker” refers to the original horsemen who managed large herds of cattle brought to this area by Florida’s earliest Spanish settlers.

Celebrate this heritage at the 65th annual Cracker Day Festival, hosted by the St. Johns County Cattleman’s Association. Cracker horse races, games and herding demonstrations take place throughout the day.

We will be featuring an educational outreach booth, featuring some of our favorite estuary friends.
