October is the month when native Floridians pull out their sweaters feeling that 80s chill in the air. It's actually one of the nicest months of the year here in Florida and Floridians take advantage with many festivals or 'toberfests'. Biketoberfest in Daytona Beach is one of the more popular around these parts, but that's a mid-month affair. First we have to honor Christopher Columbus who I'm sure was himself in the mood to celebrate when land was sighted and the mutiny postponed. Starting with those closest to Florahome, here are some links to a few Columbus Day weekend festivals worth considering if your planning to be here in Florida from the 8th through the 10th (haven't found one for Columbus day yet,..)
