- **Event Name**: The Grapefruit Gathering & Art Fair
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 21 Mar, 2026 at 09:00 am – Sat, 21 Mar, 2026 at 03:00 pm
- **Event Description**: In recent years we have commemorated the birthday of county founder Barron Gift Collier and his earliest investment in the Everglades area with the “Grapefruit Gala.” Collier’s 1921 purchase of a grapefruit grove at Deep Lake ultimately shifted the local economy toward tourism and led to the creation of our county in 1923. That’s why we say, “It all started with grapefruit.”

This year we decided to plant new seeds by celebrating Mr. Collier’s accomplishments and the community’s agricultural roots with an invitational art fair and fruit tree sale. Don’t worry, we’ll still have live music and fresh Florida citrus, too! Join us for food, fun, art and music! Artists interested in participating in this inaugural event should contact the Museum Manager at 239-252-5027.
