42nd Micanopy Fall Festival

Time: 9:00 am til 5:00 pm

Location: Micanopy, FL , along Cholokka Boulevard, 12 miles south of Gainesville

Description: Micanopy, which traces its history back to 1821, is the little town time forgot. This quiet little town bustles with activity as the vendors pour into town and fill Cholokka Boulevard. Many local artists, crafters, and musicians participate in the festival, as well as other artists from across the southeast. Along with the two hundred displays of arts and crafts there are many other attractions. The main stage plays host to a variety of good time music throughout the festival and an old time auction of items donated by participating vendors on Saturday afternoon.

While you are basking in all this historical city has to offer, be sure to visit the Micanopy Historical Society Museum located at 607 NE Cholokka Blvd.
