Holiday Traditions in Florida

We commemorate significant historical events, celebrate New Year's Eve or new seasons, or honor our heritage on holidays. The variety of holiday traditions in Florida reflects the state’s cultural and ethnic diversity. Although Floridians may celebrate different holidays or have different customs, holidays help to unite family, friends, and neighbors and strengthen our common bonds. Using photographs from the past and present, Holiday Traditions in Florida examines how Floridians have celebrated these special days.
