Weeki Wachee Swamp Fest

Weeki Wachee Swamp Fest Weeki Wachee Swamp Fest has grown from a small community fundraising festival to an annual event that The Weeki Wachee Swamp Festival Inc. in 2016.

(Weeki Wachee Swamp Fest) is a 501c3 organization that hosts a 3 day festival every year with the support of volunteers from numerous organizations, and the sponsorship of local businesses with the continued goal of raising funds to then donate to local community organizations benefiting Hernando County. Weeki Wachee Swamp Fest continues to donate all monies raised (after operating costs) to many

deserving local charities. "Swamp Fest" was originally organized by the Weeki Wachee Crime Watch, The Weeki Wachee Area Club, and the Hernando Environmental Land Protectors (H.E.L.P.) in 1994 as a 1 day community fundraising event held in the parking lot of the Area Club but quickly grew in to a 3 day event held in Linda Pedersen Park and became its own independent 501c3 organization now known as Weeki Wachee Swamp Festival Inc. (Nicknamed: Weeki Wachee Swamp Fest or just Swamp Fest)

Meet SWAMPEE the new Weeki Wachee Swamp Fest Mascot! At the March 2026 event, a contest was held to name the new scary/friendly mascot. There were many clever names submitted but SWAMPEE stood out with it’s double-E to go with Wachee submitted by Ryan with Fast Signs. Ryan promptly donated back the prize money so that more could be routed to the local charities and groups that benefit by the success of Swamp Fest. Way to go Ryan!
