Swamp Fest brings carnival atmosphere to town

November 8, 2022 By Mike Camunas

Just as it does every year — minus one COVID hiatus year — the Swamp Fest rolled into town from Nov. 4 through Nov. 6, bringing in rides, games, food and entertainment.

Now in its 13th year, the three-day event once again was hosted by the Land O’ Lakes High School Booster Club to raise money for its athletic programs and school.

Organizers say the event, which was held at Land O’ Lakes Heritage Park, 5401 Land O’ Lakes Blvd., should bring in more than $25,000.

There were two dozen rides — all of the thrill, family and kiddie variety — plus plenty of carnival food stands and food trucks, a small midway of games, and entertainment featuring local performers.

Featured acts included Nicole’s Dance Academy, Nunes at Night, Kenneth Blakenship and Big Bong Theory.
