Overview
- The free, juried event runs Jan. 31–Feb. 1 in downtown Mount Dora, 9 a.m.–5 p.m. Saturday and 9 a.m.–4 p.m. Sunday.
- Three hundred exhibitors were selected from more than 800 applications, with artists traveling from states including Arizona, California, Colorado and Washington.
- Forecasts call for temperatures in the 50s with gusts up to 35 mph, and nearly two dozen vendors have already withdrawn because of the weather.
- Organizers say all booths will be filled by calling waitlisted artists, and $20,000 in judged awards will be presented, including a $5,000 grand prize.
- Visitors can enjoy live music in Donnelly and Sunset parks along with food and drinks, and organizers estimate the two-day event generates about $2 million for Lake County.
