Enrich your Thanksgiving holidays with merriment among the piney woods of Morningside Nature Center at the annual Cane Boil & FiddleFest!
The Longleaf Pine Youth Fiddle Contest https://www.facebook.com/events/738750959880873/
portion of the Cane Boil is for musicians 18-years-old and younger.
The Cane Boil & FiddleFest continues the age-old traditions of celebrating the fall harvest and live home-spun music. Be transported to bygone days by the rustic setting of Morningside’s Living History Farm. Hear the enchanting sounds of the youth fiddle contest as they twine through the pines and across the meadow to the kettle where sugar cane juice is boiling down into our yearly supply of sweet, rich cane syrup! Other old-timey musicians will join in the melodies all day as visitors watch demonstrations of historic skills, shop our vendor’s wares and join in traditional games and crafts. Don’t forget to visit the log cabin and talk to our historic interpreters as they go about a day in the life of 1870.
The festival is presented admission-free by the City of Gainesville Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs Department and the @[275833269122062:274:Friends of Nature Parks].
