Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) Festival: Celebrating nature, history and the legacy of the CCC

Join us at the 39th annual CCC Festival at Highlands Hammock State Park from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, February 14, 2026! The park preserves wilderness, history and the legacy of the CCC. The festival celebrates history, culture, art, nature, music, sharing traditions and skills.

Enjoy Highlands Hammock State Park where wilderness and history are preserved. The park has more rare and endemic species than any other Florida State Park and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Highlands Hammock is known for its magnificent hammock and the Civilian Conservation Corps Museum. To help lift the United States out of the Great Depression, Franklin D. Roosevelt established the CCC in 1933 as part of the New Deal Program. Single men between the ages of 18 and 25 could enlist in work programs to improve America's public lands, forests and parks.

The festival is free with park admission ($6 per vehicle up to 8 people, $4 per vehicle with one person and $2 per bicyclist and pedestrian) except for tram, pony and carriage rides, food and purchases.
