Gainesville’s Downtown Festival & Art Show Returns for 41st Year with New Additions
Press release from City of Gainesville Parks, Recreation and Cultural Affairs
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – The 41st Annual Downtown Festival & Art Show will transform the streets of historic downtown Gainesville into a multicultural celebration of art and creativity complete with live music, dance, circus, and culinary arts on Nov. 19-20. The award-winning fine arts festival draws 40,000 people to the heart of Downtown Gainesville, with 200+ visual artists displaying original paintings, graphics, textiles, sculptures, jewelry, ceramics, and photography, 30+ performers on multiple stages, and dozens of visiting and local food vendors.
This year, North Florida’s largest street festival has added an Emerging Artists Program, a beer garden, and a new festival footprint that includes parts of Main Street and Gainesville’s new pedestrian mall, locally known as “The Streatery.”
Evening activities include a Friday night Downtown Blues Concert kicking off the weekend at Bo Diddley Plaza and a new night of literary arts at the local arts collective, The How Bazar, which will highlight poetry, rhyme, and lyricism on Saturday, November 19.
Thanks for the event details, but is there anyway you could list the website or contact information of the event hosts so people that want more details, have a place to communicate with?
