The parade which has a rich history. Springtime Tallahassee, Inc. came to fruition in 1967 as an organization dedicated to keeping Tallahassee as the state's capital. In 1967, Florida had its first Legislature based on reappointment when Southern and Central Florida Legislators suggested moving the capitol to Orlando. Local business and civic leaders met behind closed doors to map their strategy to keep the state's capital in Tallahassee, which we now as today as Springtime Tallahassee!
