Festival season in Lake County officially kicks off this weekend with the 24th Mount Dora Crafts Festival held along the downtown streets of Mount Dora. The Crafts Festival is a nationally ranked juried event with over 330 artisans and vendors.
The rainy weather should be clearing by late morning and a crowd topping last year's 200,000 is expected.
The festival offers a wide variety of crafted items including categories in jewelry, clay, fiber, leather, metal, wood, and glass. The festival also offers photography and floral. One of the most popular items every year is the pussy willow and dried florals.
The Craft Festival is organized by the Mount Dora Village Merchants Association which earmarks the money raised for advertising the city.
I will be attending the festival with my family today to officially start my holiday shopping; just as I have the last eleven years.
