MOUNT DORA, Fla. - TelAve -- The 28th annual Mount Dora Spring Festival of Arts and Crafts kicks off in the streets of downtown Mount Dora on Saturday morning March 15th at 9am.

Join Visit Mount Dora™ as the downtown Mount Dora, FL streets come alive with hundreds of artists and hand crafters set up to show off and sell their original artwork.
Event coordinator Janet Gamache says, "We are excited to support more than 200 artists and hand crafters from all over the state and even the country. There's a satisfaction in knowing that you are not buying an imported, mass manufactured item, but instead, directly supporting an artist for their hard work. You can see it in the smiles of both buyer and seller."
