Winter Park Festivals

Residents of Winter Park seem to enjoy life even more than the average American, and it's no wonder! Municipal festivals carry on all year, making Winter Park one of the liveliest towns in Florida. Three of our festivals in particular stand out as good examples of the beautiful lifestyle we've created for ourselves.

Winter Park Autumn Art Festival

The Winter Park Autumn Art Festival offers a spacious venue for artists, food vendors and entertainment. The location at Central Park, north of Fairbanks on Park Avenue, affords a beautiful ambiance for a popular festival. The festival is open for two days, Saturday and Sunday. Local vendors and restaurants will provide food for sale on site. Artist inspiring workshops are available for children; admission is free and will be held throughout both days. The Annual Winter Park Art Festival is an exclusive juried show for Florida residents only.

Winter Park Unity Heritage Festival

Winter Park's Unity Heritage Festival is a family-oriented event, with children's activities, career booths, family history and family portrait services, and more. There are performances, a farmers' market, and African-American specific leanings.

Winter Park Sidewalk Art Festival

Winter Park's Sidewalk Art Festival is one of America's most prestigious outdoor art festivals. Each year, more than 350,000 visitors enjoy the show, with about 1600 artists from around the world applying for entry and an independent panel of judges selecting about 275 to feature at the show. The festival is lauded by the National Endowment for the Arts, the White House, Congress and many others for promoting art and art education in Florida. The annual festival is run by an all-volunteer board of directors.
