The 55th Annual Springtime Tallahassee Festival was back over the weekend, following last year’s rain-out. The event included the traditional parade, Jubilee in the Park, and a Friday night concert.<\/p>\n

Saturday’s parade had more than 100 units rolling along Monroe Street, much to the delight of everyone. Especially longtime Springtime Tallahassee organizer Jack Diestelhorst.<\/p>\n

“This year, we didn’t get rained out. It’s wonderful!” he exclaimed as colorful floats made their way along the route.<\/p>\n

It contrasted pleasantly with last year when a daylong deluge brought the festivities to a soggy halt. And Diestelhorst had props for the more than 200 volunteers who made it all happen.<\/p>\n

“We have 1 paid person the rest of us are volunteers. We all put on this amazing festival!”<\/p>\n

At the same time, he thanked the City of Tallahassee for infrastructure and traffic control support. This year’s festival got underway with a Friday evening musical performance, a pre-parade foot race, and post parade Jubilee in the Park with dozens of commercial and non-profit vendor booths. <\/p>\n
