The story

DeLand Fall Festival of the Arts in DeLand

Each November, more than one hundred fifty juried artists line Woodland Boulevard in downtown DeLand for the Fall Festival of the Arts, a free two-day showcase of paintings, pottery, photography, and sculpture. Produced with the Museum of Art DeLand and MainStreet DeLand, the festival pairs a juried fine-arts market with live music, local food, and children's activities in a city long nicknamed the Athens of Florida.

Its downtown setting and arts reputation make it a solid Central Florida row.
