Mayfaire by-the-Lake 2008

Another signature Lakeland event is on the horizon, and it's a BIG one! May 10th & 11th, on the shores of Lake Morton, between 10 am - 5 pm will mark 2008's version of Mayfaire. No tickets are necessary & there will be a hospitality tent at Sorosis Building with desserts, fruit, & beverages.  

Considered Polk County's largest cultural & artistic event, Mayfaire by the Lake is where artists exhibit their original works of art along the shores of Lake Morton and on the streets opposite the lake which creates more of an open "art market" feel. It also helps visitors to view and enjoy the exhibition of fine arts and crafts within a shorter, shadier, walking area. In addition to nearly 200 artists displaying original works of art, food and drink and a full entertainment schedule are offered on both days. The Children's Art Tent is one of the most popular parts of the show, hosting a wide variety of activities. In addition, the annual Mayfaire Festival of Arts & Athletes is held on Saturday night. The Festival kicks off with the Mayfaire Classic 5k foot race around beautiful Lake Mirror, and continues into the evening with live music, dancing, food, and children's activities. Check out the views and surroundings of  beautiful Lake Mirror.

Begun in 1974 as a small crafts fair on the lawn of the Lakeland Public Library, Mayfaire by-the-Lake has grown into one of Florida's premier outdoor Art events. The art festival is presented by the Polk Museum of Art. It's also within walking distance of historic downtown Lakeland!
