Cracker Christmas at Fort Christmas Historical Park
- see all dates
Cracker Christmas is an annual two-day event held on the first full weekend of December. The event features live historical demonstrators, vendors, and various foods for sale. The origin of the term “Florida Cracker” refers to the cracking sound made by the whips used by early settlers to herd their cattle, hence the Floridians were called “Crackers”.
This event celebrates the Florida Pioneer and the rich history of the Christmas community. It also showcases local history through a craft fair with handmade items, pioneer demonstrations, and community organizations displays.
The event began approximately in 1977 as a small celebration. It has gradually grown into the largest Fort Christmas Historical Society event held at Fort Christmas Historical Park.
