The Mount Dora Art Festival is one of Central Florida’s premier art events. This two-day festival is packed with art and activities for locals and tourists of all ages. The best part is that admission is free!
Held each year on the first weekend in February, this event draws thousands of people to downtown Mount Dora to experience the work of local and national artists. There is something for everyone at this festival – paintings, sculpture, jewelry, photography, and more.
