Central Florida Peanut Festival

About the festival

The Central Florida Peanut Festival is our biggest day of the year. Every fall, the Chamber fills Heritage Park with vendors, live music, fair food, and thousands of neighbors and visitors. It is a celebration of the peanut industry that helped build this part of Florida, and of the community that keeps it growing.

Admission is free. Bring the family, come hungry, and plan to stay a while.

What to expect

• More than 100 craft, food, and business vendors filling Heritage Park
• Live music on the community stage throughout the day
• A kids' zone with games, rides, and activities
• Local food trucks and, of course, peanuts every way you can imagine
• A car and tractor show celebrating Levy County's rural roots

Become a vendor

Vendor applications for 2026 are open now. Booths go fast: applications are time-stamped and handled in the order they come in, so the sooner you send yours, the better your spot. Chamber partners pay less.

The deadline is noon on Friday, September 18, 2026. No vendors are accepted after that.

A booth is about 15 feet wide and at least 12 feet deep. Electricity is free but not guaranteed, so bring heavy-duty extension cords. Generators must be quiet ones.
