Starke's big holiday weekend is Christmas on Call Street, held the second weekend of December: a Friday tree lighting with music and a live nativity, and the Christmas Parade on Saturday at 6 PM, with Santa in the Town Square afterward.

Thanksgiving Break in Starke with Kids

Bradford County schools are out Nov 23–27, 2026. Starke is small, so a break-week plan mixes local spots like the Camp Blanding Museum with short drives to Keystone Heights and Gainesville (both labeled with their town). The Florida Museum in Gainesville reopens Monday, Nov 23.
