Good To Know

LODGING

We have a block of rooms discounted at the Florida Cracker Riverside Resort. Mention "Bing Futch - Folkcraft" to apply. The resort is located at: 5297 S. Cherokee Way in Homosassa, Florida and all workshops and concerts take place here.

DINING

The Monkey Bar and Grill is on-site with a wonderful menu and view of Monkey Island and the Homosassa River. There are a number of nearby eateries including The Marguerita Grille, The Mill, Crumps Landing, The Freezer and also many restaurants on nearby Highway 19.

SHOPPING/GROCERIES

There is a Publix on the right as you turn onto West Halls River Road from Highway 19. There is also a convenience store on Cherokee Drive as well as a small store at the resort. If you're getting a room with a kitchen, or camping, we highly recommend visiting Shelley's Seafood and Fish Market, which is within walking distance of the Homosassa Riverside Resort. They get fresh local seafood every day - a great opportunity to sample some of the famous fish from the region.

RECREATION

There is much to see and do for the nature lover. The Homosassa Riverside Resort has a marina where you can rent kayaks, sailboats, power boats, pontoons boats and more. Chartered fishing trips are available as well as manatee swims and watches. Airboat rides are a Florida tradition and there are several pilots in the marina. Nearby are the Yulee Sugar Mill remains as well as the Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park with its famous "fishbowl" underwater viewing area of the springs.
