The Sopchoppy Worm Gruntin’ Festival has easily become one of Wakulla County’s most popular and largest events each year. The celebration draws thousands from Wakulla County and the surrounding areas who come to see the famed Sopchoppy worms rise from the ground and crown a new Worm Gruntin’ King. This all-day celebration begins bright and early with a 5K race, then features a “Worm Gruntin’ ” demonstration and competition in the afternoon, and ends with live music late into the night. The event attracts nearly 100 food, arts and crafts vendors every year, and the evening culminates with the Annual Worm Grunters’ Ball, featuring a slew of live performances from local artists.
The Wakulla County Board of County Commissioners is excited to announce it will be hosting a Veteran’s Parade and Ceremony on November 7 in conjunction with the Veteran of Foreign Wars Post 4538.
Saturday, November 14: TCC Foundation’s Hops and Half Shells 5K starts at 9 a.m., with optional one-mile race beginning at 8:30 a.m. There is also a virtual option you can do at home!
