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.
