Hosted by the Chiefland Women's Club, the Chiefland Watermelon Festival is one of the biggest events in Chiefland, FL. Started in 1954 to celebrate the completion of sidewalks and streets in the city, it draws people from all over the state. Over the years, it has grown to incorporate art and craft exhibitions as well. Visitors can indulge in freshly-sliced watermelon donated by local farmers, as they explore some of the highlights of this event such as the watermelon parade, weighing-contest, the Watermelon Queen crowning, and the watermelon-eating and seed-spitting contests. The festival site is peppered with food stalls to keep everyone satiated.
