- Mount Dora Craft Fair
Mount Dora Craft Festival — October 25 & 26, 2025.
Advice for visitors: Arrive early, wear comfortable shoes, and bring water and a light bag for purchases. The Mount Dora Craft Festival runs from 9 am to 5 pm on October 25 and 26, 2025, and is held on the streets of historic downtown. This event is large and busy, with more than 350 of the best exhibitors in the country showing and selling fine art and fun crafts. It has been ranked consistently in the top five by Sunshine Artist Magazine, and in 2021 it was named the #1 all time favorite classic and contemporary craft festival. You will find festival food, music, beer, wine, and cocktails. There will also be special guest appearances that make the day feel lively and fun. Plan to walk a lot because the booths fill the streets. Bring both cash and a card since sellers may accept different forms of payment. If you want to take pictures, keep your camera or phone charged. Look for signs that show maps, restrooms, and first aid. If you come with family, check for kid-friendly areas and places to sit and rest. Dress for the weather and use sunscreen if it is sunny. A small umbrella or light rain jacket can help if the weather changes.
For artists, makers, entertainers, and buskers there are helpful rules to know. Entertainers and buskers can apply for approval at no charge, and they may add energy to the festival with performances on the street. If you plan to apply as an exhibitor, note the deadline: applicants who apply after the June 1 deadline are automatically placed on the waitlist. That means it is best to apply early to secure a booth. If you are a visitor making plans, check the festival website before you go for any schedule updates, parking tips, and special guest details. Take breaks during the day to enjoy the music and food, and support small businesses by buying directly from artists and vendors. Above all, be courteous to others, follow any event rules, and enjoy the art, crafts, and friendly atmosphere.
