Century Teaspoon Festival Celebrates Heritage
March 1, 2009
The third annual Teaspoon Heritage Festival was held Saturday in Century.
The weather moved the day’s events inside the New Life Baptist Church. The event included a special performance by Ballet Pensacola and other groups, food, arts and crafts and more.
The festival celebrated the heritage of African slaves that escaped from Colonial plantations in the Carolinas and Georgia to settle in the community of Teaspoon, now modern day Century.
The free festival was sponsored by The Teaspoon Foundation and New Life Baptist Church.

The Teaspoon Festival was a lot of fun. Although, the weather moved the live bands inside, everyone had a wonderful time. People came from as far away as Gulf Breeze and Crestview to celebrate the 3rd Annual Teaspoon Festival. The Pensacola Ballet put on a wonderful performance. The opening band, Mystic Springs was good folk-style music…then “Total Jam” from Pensacola really rocked!! Everyone had a great time, celebrating our past and future!
