Experience the pioneer spirit and rich agricultural history of Florida’s heartland with the Immokalee Cattle Drive and Jamboree at the Immokalee Pioneer Museum at Roberts Ranch.
The cattle drive starts along Main Street in Immokalee led by cattle boss Heather Cleckler, descendant of the Roberts family, and leads to Roberts Ranch, a former farmstead listed on the National Register of Historic Places and operated as a Collier County museum. Activities and entertainment kick off when the cows come home and include storytelling, roping and whip cracking demonstrations, traditional food demonstrations, music, craft and food vendors, and so much more. Bring the whole family to the Kids’ Korral with petting zoo, games, and crafts.
Our next Immokalee Cattle Drive and Jamboree is scheduled for March 9, 2024. Please take some time to appreciate our sponsors!

The new millennium has seen many Immokalee Pioneer Museum cattle drives — expanding to include alligator wrestlers from the Seminole tribe and demonstrations of pioneer trades like whip-making and blacksmithing — and this year Roberts Ranch will again welcome the cows home after the hundred head of cattle parade down Main Street Immokalee with an honorary procession including dignitaries from the Seminole Tribe of Florida and descendants of one of Immokalee’s cattle ranching families. Roberts descendent Heather Cleckler will lead the ceremony as cattle boss.
