Mt. Dora's big art show was in February this year.
Much more fine art than crafts.
The show is huge- and draws large crowds. I frequent art fairs and draw much inspiration from them, but this one may be getting too big for me. The crowds and additional numbers of booths were a bit overwhelming this year, compared to the last two years I've attended.
Some artists I am familiar with, sadly have dropped away because it is now jam- packed with so much to buy that their individual sales are down.

You will find marked, designated parking lots (schools, for example offer their lots) then catch shuttle buses to and from the show. That's the best way to navigate.

Mt. Dora has a website- they hold other special events throughout the year.

We intend to explore and enjoy Mt. Dora further, in between events.
