The warm weather is upon us and the events in Central Florida this month are heating up, too. Whether you're in for some good ol' southern BBQ or celebrating the start of spring, these events will make your month that much more fun. This time of year is one of the best parts of living in Florida.
Enjoy the Epcot® International Flower & Garden Festival
If you enjoy Epcots® annual Food and Wine Festival, then you will surely love the International Flower and Garden Festival, too. The season of spring is showcased at Epcot® with fresh seasonal dishes and beverages at every stop, bright colored topiary displays (many of which are character themed) and beautiful gardens. The festival starts March 4th and runs through May. Visit during the weekend and you can catch the Garden Rocks Concert Series, complimentary presentations and take-home tips for the gardener in you.
Keep out your cowboy boots out for the Ram National Circuit Finals Rodeo
If you had fun at last month's Silver Spurs Rodeo in Osceola County, then you'll want to cowboy up again for the Ram National Circuit Finals Rodeo coming to Silver Spurs Arena for the first time this month. The Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA)-sanctioned rodeo will feature eight events over four days, during which time 24 contestants will compete for more than $1 million in cash and prizes.
Chow down at the Florida Heritage BBQ Classic
Hosted the same weekend as the Ram National Circuit Finals Rodeo (and happening right next door at Osceola Heritage Park) is the Florida Heritage BBQ Classic where award-winning competitors from all over the country will put their expertise to the test when it comes to BBQ beef, pork, brisket, gator and other exotic treats hoping to win a piece of the $25,000 purse. Along with trying some of the best barbecue in the country, you can meet the masters, enjoy live music and interactive entertainment.
