Tickets on Sale for Hernando County’s 23rd Annual Boots and Bows Dance

Hernando County Parks & Recreation has opened ticket sales for the 23rd Annual Father‑Daughter Dance, billed as "Boots & Bows," a western‑themed evening set for Friday, Feb. 20 and Saturday, Feb. 21 from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. at Christian Church in the Wildwood in Brooksville. The department says the two nights will feature music, dinner, dancing, a digital photo booth and an "exciting 360 photo booth."

The county promotional page invites families to "Get ready to kick up your heels and join us for a hoot'n hollerin' good time!" and describes the event as a chance to create keepsakes and memories for fathers and daughters. Organizers emphasize the event's intended audience: "This event is reserved for fathers, grandfathers, stepfathers, and uncles. Although we recognize and honor the contributions of mothers, grandmothers, stepmothers, and aunts, this event is designated solely for the cowboys and their young cowgirls."

Tickets are on sale exclusively through Eventbrite, and Hernando County's Parks & Recreation page lists a face price of "Tickets are $25 per person and on sale through Eventbrite!" County materials and the local chamber release spell out consumer protections and logistics: "All ticket sales are final; no refunds will be issued," and organizers warn that "Tickets are sold exclusively through Eventbrite. Tickets purchased from unofficial sellers may not be honored." Purchasers should expect electronic delivery, since "Tickets will be delivered via email after purchase. Attendees should ensure access to the email address used to register." Buying only through the county's designated platform will help avoid invalid tickets and resale disputes; the county notes it "will not mediate private ticket transactions or disputes."

The notice also makes clear that purchasing a ticket constitutes photo consent. The chamber copy states, "By purchasing a ticket, attendees consent to photographs taken during the event being used for county promotional and social media purposes." Families who want to limit publicity should contact Parks & Recreation ahead of purchase to clarify any accommodations.

The dance is presented as a long‑running community tradition celebrating the bond between fathers and daughters. As a practical matter for Hernando County residents, the event consolidates family entertainment, a meal and keepsake photos in one evening and is timed to serve Brooksville and surrounding communities that use county parks and programs. For logistical questions or to request additional accessibility information, the county lists its main line at (352) 754‑4000.

Because social posts have shown differing pricing details, confirm current ticket options and any package deals directly on the Eventbrite listing before purchasing and make sure the email used at checkout is accessible. With limited seating likely and no refunds, early purchase through the official channel is the clearest way for families to reserve a spot and prepare for a "Boots & Bows" night in Brooksville.
