The vibrant community of Blountstown is set to host the much-anticipated North Florida Wildflower Festival on April 25, 2026. Originally planned for Magnolia Square, organizers have shifted the venue to the M&B Railroad Depot Park at the corner of Railroad Avenue and NE Pear Street due to the temporary closure of the Square.

Attendees can browse through a variety of plants and flowers, pick up unique gifts and artisan crafts, or enjoy gourmet food from local food trucks.
