This juried show is limited to 75 artists with an estimated attendance of 10,000. Downtown Leesburg is located in Central Florida, just 11 miles from The Villages and equal distance from both coasts. This quaint venue offers a historic main street with shops, services and restaurants with abundant customer parking surrounding the downtown area.

Accepted medium categories include ceramics, drawing/graphics/printmaking, fine crafts, glass, jewelry, painting, mixed media, photography/digital art, sculpture, and fiber. All work must be original, handmade, and created after 2023. No buy-sell items, reproductions, or production artwork are permitted. Artists must be present during the entirety of the festival, and work must be appropriate for viewers of all ages.
