Granada Grand Festival of the Arts happening this weekend in Ormond Beach

Ormond Beach MainStreet and the Ormond Beach Arts District is hosting the 9th annual Granada Grand Festival of the Arts this weekend.

On Saturday, February 4, from 10 am until 4 pm, The Granada Grand Festival of the Arts will offer a generous helping of all things art, from visual artists and art demonstrations to musical performances and hands-on activities for the whole family.

More than 5,000 visitors are expected to wander around the festival, where over 80 artists will gather along New Britain Avenue from Beach Street to Ridgewood Avenue.

Interact with select artists as they conduct live demonstrations of their technique, then snag something unique from one of over 80 exhibitors selling their handcrafted pieces, the majority of whom reside in Volusia County.

Even the smallest art-lover will stay entertained in the kid’s zone, with fun art projects, games, face painting, and a bouncy house.

Visit the Young Artists tent where local students ages 6 – 18 will be displaying their work for sale alongside local art teacher, Pat Spano. It’s a chance for these select young artists to be an active part of the local art scene, and to find out more about the life of a working artist.

Here you’ll also find a mini art studio where Pat and the young artists will help children create a masterpiece of their own.

Pick your medium! For those who want to learn more about how to DIY, artists will be offering live demonstrations all around the Festival. Woodworking, pottery, broom making, spray art, calligraphy, sand art, and classic painting skills will all be on display.

An updated schedule of Festival events and a parking map are available on Facebook and at ormondbeachmainstreet.com.
