Swampfest

Swampfest is a community event sponsored by The Friends for Satsuma Schools for the purpose of raising funds for year-round success. Swampfest will be held on Saturday, March 2, 2024, at Satsuma High School.

Vendors and car enthusiasts are invited to participate in Swampfest yearly. Vendors vary from clothing to handmade items, kitchen aids and/or make-up among various other items. There are also a multitude of children’s activities such as jumpies, face painting, and games. Last year, the animal shelter visited and many animals found their forever homes. Each year Swampfest hosts many singing groups as well as dance companies to provide entertainment to guests who attend. There are a number of local community groups who provide food items for sale such as homemade jambalaya , grilled items, pizza, chicken fingers, and there is always a variety of snack items for everyone. The monies raised from Swampfest are put back into to Satsuma City School System by way of teacher grants and scholarships. Teachers complete grant requests that are items that they would “wish” to have in their classrooms in addition to their normal teaching supplies. Wish items that have been granted include such things as musical instruments for the band program, costumes, lights, and a sound system for the drama department, laminators, books for the elementary library, helped build and have supported the Outdoor Garden, and a variety of classroom projects that aid in improving the academic success of our students.
