The Old Spanish
Trail Festival in Crestview is just around the corner and it is once
again time to celebrate the area’s unique cultural history. The
celebration begins on the last weekend of April and ends the first
weekend of May.
Festivities include
an arts and crafts bazaar, food vendors, beauty pageant, carnival
rides, a parade and nationally recognized musicians. The majority of
the activities take place in the Spanish Trail Park.
The name Old
Spanish Trail refers to a trade route used by the three European
countries that settled the area, namely England, Spain and France. The
route ran from El Paso, Texas all the way to Jacksonville, Fla. It was
the I-10 of its day.
Get ready Crestview
and history buffs, and anyone else who wishes to have a wonderful
family-friendly time; the Old Spanish Trail Festival is coming soon,
so make your plans to attend now.
