More exceptional features of the Seminole Nation Days Celebration that sets this event miles apart from other festivals, is besides the many vendors that will be present at this celebration, (that one can count on for cool and unique items found only for sale at festivals, that one cannot find at their local shopping centers), there will also be genuine, quality Native American arts and crafts, which were made with the skilled craftsmanship and artistry of the Seminole people which can be purchased at this festival for a totally unique shopping experience and a true treasure hunt, for those who like to do 'the shopping thing' on the weekends.
Another feature of this exceptional event is of course, the food. For those who do love the traditional festival cuisine of funnel cakes, sausages and other yummy festival treats, there will be plenty of food vendors present to serve up your favorite 'festival fare.' But beside the usual festival treats, this event also offers delicious traditional Native American cuisine, as well. This in itself offers a delicious and nutritious change of pace, from the same ol' festival fare of walking around while eating funnel cakes, and sausages, (and spilling mustard all down your shirt). So, at the Seminole Nation Days Celebration, you can indeed have your funnel cake and eat mouth watering Native American cuisine too!
