Bonifay Down Home Street Festival (March)
These women envisioned their hometown enjoying a day of play as one big family. They would endeavor to join families, co-workers, businesses, churches and community leaders together for one day each year to celebrate “community”. This enterprise would create a tremendous sense of community pride and demonstrate to others just what Bonifay has to offer. The festival would prove to those already living in Bonifay just how blessed they are to live in the community and how proud they are to share that sense of pride with others.
