Chiefland, Florida
and the Great Watermelon Festival
Chiefland is the Levy County home to Indian sports, destination restaurants and North Florida’s famed watermelon festival, featuring a parade, melon queens and princesses, diverse craft vendors, outdoor dining, the Great Watermelon Auction, and masses of area politicos seeing acceptance or survival on Election Day. There are smiles, laughter, and intense plunges on tasty, cold, homegrown melons.
