Approaching its 32nd year, the Mount Dora Arts Festival continues to be one of Florida’s premiere cultural events. Located on a hill overlooking scenic Lake Dora, and known for its antique shops, galleries and fine dining, historic Mount Dora is the backdrop for the event. 10,000 year-round residents, bus loads of day visitors and seasonal guests fill the lovely downtown shops, streets and alleyways of this unique village in Central Florida, just less than 40 minutes from Orlando.
This Fine Arts Festival features 285 of the nation's leading artists selected by a panel of jurors. These Artists provide the quaint, historic downtown streets with a colorful array of fine art including oils, clay, graphics, glass, jewelry, metal, sculpture, mixed media, photography, acrylics and watercolor painting.
With the help of over 200 volunteers each year the festival maintains a reputaion for being one of the most organized festivals in the Southeast and allows MDCA to continue the tradition started by those art loving friends so long ago. In 1973, a group of art loving friends decided to hold an Arts Festival in their small town of Mount Dora, Florida. They began to work and organize, and in 1975 the first Mount Dora Arts Festival was held. The small festival was such fun and so successful, it became an annual event.
