The Mount Dora Craft Fair transforms downtown Mount Dora into one of the biggest craft festivals in the country!

This weekend, downtown Mount Dora transforms into one of the biggest craft festivals in the country!

The 42nd Annual Mount Dora Craft Fair returns October 24–25, bringing more than 350 artists and makers from across the country to our historic downtown for one of the busiest and most anticipated weekends of the year.

Ranked among the Top 10 craft festivals in the country by Sunshine Artist magazine, this isn't your average craft show. For two full days, downtown streets will be lined with handcrafted jewelry, pottery, woodworking, paintings, textiles, home décor and plenty of unexpected finds.

And there's more to explore beyond the vendor booths. Festival food, live music in Donnelly Park, wine tastings, a Kids Art Tent and family-friendly activities will add to the festivities, while downtown's restaurants, shops and bars welcome visitors throughout the weekend.

The fair runs Saturday, October 24 and Sunday, October 25, from 9 am to 5 pm both days, with FREE admission.

With thousands of visitors expected, a little planning goes a long way. Arrive early, wear comfortable shoes and consider taking advantage of the park-and-ride shuttles to avoid the downtown parking rush.

Whether you're coming to shop, discover new artists or simply enjoy Mount Dora at its liveliest, Craft Fair weekend is almost here!

The festival is held on the streets of the historic walking district of downtown Mount Dora. You can GPS  510 N. Baker St, Mount Dora, FL to get close to the event. Once you see the barricades and tents, you know you have arrived!

Public parking can be found across the street from 1st Methodist Church at 439 E 5th Ave, Mt Dora, FL 32757.  The lot is small so look around for residents parking cars in their yards. They typically charge around $10 per car and its worth it to get closer to the event.
