Mark McHugh, president and CEO of Gatorland, expressed his excitement about the event.
“It’s a thrill to offer this popular event for six years in a row now for our locals and guests from all over the world. Gatorpalooza is always so much fun. And, of course, everyone will want to see Jawlene, our world-famous rescue alligator in her own custom-built home, and the world’s rarest white alligators, Mystic the Leucistic and her brother Mayhem, at the White Gator Swamp,” he said.
