Sister Hazel to Headline 7th Annual Florida Cracker Christmas Fundraiser

Florida's holiday season offers unique traditions, and the upcoming 7th Annual Florida Cracker Christmas is a prime example.

 

Set for Saturday, December 13, 2025, at the Jack Daniel's Amphitheatre in Brooksville, this event combines live music with community spirit.

 

Headlining the evening is Gainesville's own Sister Hazel, renowned for their 1997 hit "All for You."

 

Joining them are Bronson Arroyo, a Brooksville native and former MLB pitcher turned musician, along with local talents Bryce Mauldin and Brooks Timmons.

 

Beyond the music, the event serves a noble cause.

 

Proceeds benefit Operation HeartF.E.L.T., a Hernando County nonprofit dedicated to providing nutritious meals to children who rely on school breakfasts and lunches.

 

Over the past six years, the Florida Cracker Christmas has raised approximately $70,000 to support this mission.

 

Blair Hensley, co-founder of Florida Cracker Kitchen, emphasizes the event's community focus.

 

"It's a real family-friendly environment," he notes.

 

"You bring a chair, break bread with your neighbors, and enjoy the evening, especially this time of year."

 

The Jack Daniel's Amphitheatre, located at 966 E. Jefferson St., offers a picturesque setting for the festivities.

 

Attendees can enjoy signature drinks from the Florida Cracker Tap Room, explore the food truck court, and shop for branded merchandise.

 

Tickets are available now, including a special VIP option featuring reserved seating, VIP tap room access, drink vouchers, a dinner buffet, and more.

 

Don't miss this opportunity to celebrate the season while supporting a worthy cause.
