Springtime Tallahassee
Description
Springtime is a civic organization dedicated to the promotion and preservation of Tallahassee history. Springtime Tallahassee, Inc. was chartered in 1967 as an organization dedicated to keeping Tallahassee as the state’s capital. In 1967, Florida had its first Legislature based on reapportionment when Southern and Central Florida Legislators suggested moving the capitol to Orlando. Local businesses and civic leaders met behind closed doors to map their strategy to keep the state’s capital in Tallahassee.
The legislative delegation asked for help. At a luncheon of the Tallahassee Real Estate Association in May, the speaker suggested: “We should have a festival in the spring when Tallahassee is so beautiful!” By the fall, more than 20 groups were planning the First Annual Tallahassee Spring Festival. As a result, the Legislature historically chose to keep our state’s capital in Tallahassee.
With the passing of each festival, Springtime Tallahassee has grown a little bigger and better through the dedication of its community-minded members. Since 1967, Springtime Tallahassee continues to showcase and celebrate our Capital city!
