Rain Or Shine: Jay Peanut Festival To Go On This Weekend

October 5, 2013

The annual Jay Peanut Festival will go one this weekend, rain or shine.

For more than 20 years, The Jay Peanut Festival at the Gabbert Farm has been a fall tradition on the Gulf Coast, showcasing the history, agriculture, food and fun of Santa Rosa County.  What started as a chance for local kids and farmers to show off their best of the season has become an annual event covering 15 acres and drawing about 70,000 people to the Gabbert farm over two days.

The event includes the 1930s Farm Museum, food booths, dozens of arts and crafts vendors, pony rides, games and fun.  The Jay Peanut Festival is also a chance to try all varieties of peanuts – boiled, green, fried, candied and more.

Admission is free, 9 a.m. until 6 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. The Gabbert farm is located at 3604 Pine Level Road.
