Celebrating Florida Emancipation Day
On May 20, 1865, President Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation was announced in Tallahassee, Florida. The Tampa Bay History Center in partnership with Florida A&M University’s Brooksville Agricultural and Environmental Research Station, invites the community to the FAMU Annual Farm Fest on Saturday, May 16, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Chinsegut Hill Historic Site in Brooksville.
We will begin promptly at 10:00 a.m. with the reading of the Emancipation Proclamation, followed by a processional to the FAMU Farm Fest. Join us for guided tours of the historic site, an agricultural showcase, a health expo, and hands-on demonstrations.
Enjoy live performances and a variety of food vendors offering regional cuisine.
