Alligator Warrior Festival

The Alligator Warrior Festival, an annual non-profit event, is held in memory of the years between 1800 and 1859, when Lake City Florida was still called Alligator, Florida, and in memory of its most famous resident, the Seminole commander, Alligator Warrior, and to reenact the 1836 Battle of San Felasco Hammock. In addition to the reenactment, the event is a festival that celebrates native American and imigrant American cultures with music and dancing, living-history camps, demonstrators of historic skills, traders, craftspeople, and food vendors.
In any year, the festival is held on the Fri-Sun surrounding the 3rd Saturday in October.
