Excitement is in the air as Florida’s oldest living museum, Sunken Gardens in St. Petersburg, gears up to host the highly anticipated Flamingo Festival once again. Set to take place this weekend, the festival promises a day filled with fun and excitement to celebrate eight years of flamingos gracing the Sunken Gardens.
On Sunday, visitors of all ages are invited to show their love for these elegant birds and join in the festivities. From activities led by the Great Exploration Children’s Museum to live music and face painting, there’s something for every flamingo enthusiast to enjoy.
While visitors are always welcome to observe the flamingos during any visit to the Gardens, the Flamingo Festival offers a special treat – the chance to feed and interact with the pretty pink flock up close and personal. For a fee of $50 per person, visitors can partake in flamingo encounters, which are conducted in groups of four. It’s an opportunity to create unforgettable memories and deepen one’s appreciation for these majestic creatures.
To add to the excitement, admission to the festival is free with the entrance fee to the Gardens. Plus, there’s an extra incentive for attendees to embrace the theme by wearing pink – receive $1 off your entrance price as a nod to the vibrant hue synonymous with flamingos.
The Flamingo Festival not only provides a day of entertainment and enjoyment but also serves as a platform to raise awareness about these iconic birds and the importance of conservation efforts. By offering interactive experiences and educational opportunities, the festival fosters a deeper connection between visitors and the natural world, inspiring a sense of stewardship for the environment.
As attendees flock to the Sunken Gardens for this beloved annual event, they can look forward to immersing themselves in a world of pink feathers, laughter, and community spirit. Whether it’s feeding flamingos, exploring the gardens, or simply soaking in the festive atmosphere, the Flamingo Festival offers a delightful escape for all who attend.
