Mount Dora Arts Festival

The festival is free and runs 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday. Come early on Saturday for the best selection and lighter crowds. Downtown streets close for the booths, so expect to park farther out and walk, and wear comfortable shoes for the hilly blocks. Bring a bag for purchases. Break for lunch at a downtown cafe, then walk down to the Lake Dora waterfront and lighthouse for a rest by the water.
