==Recreation and events== Arcadia is located on the Peace River, the major tributary of the [[Charlotte Harbor (estuary)|Charlotte Harbor]] estuary. The river offers fine canoeing, shark-tooth hunting, and natural habitats. Tours, recreational accessories, and accommodations are readily available. Arcadia hosts DeSoto County's annual fair usually in the month of January. While traditional aspects of a fair or carnival are provided, the event also presents livestock shows consisting of swine and cattle, which are presented by the local [[National FFA Organization|FFA]] and [[4-H]]. Arcadia is also the home of three [[rodeo]]s. These events, which are managed by the local rodeo association, occur during the month of March, the [[Fourth of July]] holiday, and in the fall. From the profits of these events many local charities, college scholarships and causes receive funding. Arcadia is one of the largest groupings of antique dealers in the state, all located conveniently in the downtown area. The local dealers' association sponsors a "4th Saturday Antique Fair" each month from 8 am to 3 pm, bringing an additional 60 to 120 independent dealers in for the event. Arcadia has numerous parades throughout the yearβa [[Martin Luther King Jr. Day]] parade, a March rodeo parade, a [[Cinco de Mayo]] parade, an [[Independence Day (United States)|Independence Day]] parade, an October [[Homecoming]] parade, a [[Veterans Day]] parade, and a Christmas parade.
