Presented in partnership by the Tampa Bay History Center and Florida A&M University (FAMU), this special event commemorates the 160th anniversary of Florida Emancipation Day, marking the historic moment on May 20, 1865, when the Emancipation Proclamation was officially announced in Tallahassee, freeing enslaved people in Florida.
Attendees will enjoy a day filled with educational exhibits, interactive activities, local food, live entertainment, and opportunities to learn about Florida’s agricultural roots and rich African American history. The event also highlights the mission of the land-grant system at FAMU, which integrates teaching, research, and extension (outreach) to build a better, more equitable future for all.
The FAMU Farm Fest is designed to raise public awareness of how land-grant institutions like Florida A&M University work to uplift communities through education, innovation, and engagement. We’re excited to welcome families, farmers, producers, and neighbors from Hernando and surrounding counties to this one-of-a-kind celebration.
