One of the oldest and most beloved Florida fall
festivals, the Homosassa Arts, Crafts & Seafood Festival is held in historic Old
Homosassa along the banks of the Homosassa River. Offering more than the typical
street market, the two-day festival boasts numerous artist booths showcasing a
variety of art mediums including paintings, jewelry, handcrafted wood, and other
unique items. The large shaded Homosassa Civic Club Festival Grounds also
provides for a pleasant stroll past booths of crafters demonstrating their
skills. A juried art show is also held during the event.
In addition to the arts and crafts, there is virtually non-stop entertainment
both days featuring local talent and well known folk, bluegrass, oand country
performers. Attendees needn't worry about getting hungry, as there are over two
dozen food vendors on hand serving a wide variety of seafood. A "kids zone" is
also available for the younger children.
A small admission fee is charged to enter the festival, which aids local
charities and non-profits.
