The Old Florida Celebration of the Arts will take place March 30 & 31, 2019 on historic 2nd Street in Cedar Key, an island community on Florida's Gulf Coast 60 miles SW of Gainesville on Hwy 24. This juried event, attracts 20,000 visitors annually and offers over $18,000 in prize money and purchase awards. This event has been rated one of the top ten fine arts festivals in the nation by ********.*** for the past two years. Cedar Key's beautiful natural setting, outstanding artist amenities, and the friendliness and hospitality of the volunteers make this a favorite destination for both artists and art lovers. The town's beachfront City Park is filled with music, children's activities, and food sold by local non-profit organizations.

Our decision to move the event to the last weekend in March is based on the fact that we draw a larger crowd in March, had the highest artist satisfaction rates when the event was in March and the date will not have to be changed as often because of Easter. Based on 2018 artist input we are taking steps to improve our WiFi capabilities at the venue, and the running time of the festival will remain from 10am to 5pm Saturday, and 10am to 4pm Sunday.
