Despite the slightly cooler than normal temperatures, thousands of people attended the 35th Annual Mount Dora Arts Festival on Saturday.  Organizers say that they expect over 300,000 persons will participate in the two-day festival which runs from February 6-7th.
Over 280 artists from around the country are displaying their works in this nationally acclaimed Art Festival, which offers a wide variety and diversity of art. Paintings, glass and metal, fine crafts, clay, mixed media, jewelry, and photography are among the art works featured.
There’s lots of entertainment and culture on display in the beautiful historic city of Mount Dora over the week-end and Sunday’s line up will feature Native American music, a Polynesian Hula dancer, and the Irish Dance Performance Group, among many other performances.
Over $20,000 will be distributed by the Mount Dora Center for the Arts to winning artists in an awards ceremony, which will commence on Sunday, February 7th at 8:00 am
