The Mount Dora Spring Festival of Arts and Crafts returns to historic downtown Mount Dora

This popular two-day art event features all hand craft items and original art.

Downtown Mount Dora's streets will come alive this weekend, with the Mount Dora Spring Festival of Arts and Crafts returning on Saturday March 21, and Sunday March 22, featuring an eclectic display of fine and fun arts and crafts by more than 250 exhibitors.

The annual Mount Dora Spring Festival of Arts and Crafts is a fun, FREE, two-day, open-air event, with the historic streets of downtown Mount Dora as a backdrop.

Stroll through and support more than 250 hand craft exhibitors and original artists that set up to sell their unique offerings to the public on the streets of the historic downtown walking district of Mount Dora.

You’ll discover handmade jewelry, pottery, woodwork, home décor, glass, paintings, and countless one-of-a-kind pieces — all created by the artists themselves.

The Mount Dora Spring Festival of Arts and Crafts was originally known as the Mount Dora Antique Show, and took place in conjunction with the Antique Boat Show on the shores of Lake Dora each March. Created in 1997 to draw people attending the Boat Show into town to help the downtown businesses.

When the boat event moved to nearby Tavares, FL the event evolved into the Spring Collectibles and Crafts Show. Today the event has no antique or collectible dealers. It features all hand craft items and original art but still draws thousands of people to downtown Mount Dora, as was the original intent of the event organizers.
