From the GFWC Apopka Woman's Club
On Saturday, April 28th, 9:00 am-5:00 pm and Sunday, April 29th, from 10:00 am-4:00 pm., The Kit Land Nelson Park in downtown Apopka will be turned into an outdoor art gallery. Over 75 entries of juried fine arts and creative handcrafts will fill the park for the 57th Annual Apopka Art and Foliage Festival. Artists from all areas will converge in Apopka to feature their paintings, pottery, jewelry, sculptures, and much more at the two-day outdoor festival. Budding artists from local schools will also have the opportunity to display their works of art.
Bring your families for a stroll through the park and see why Apopka is known as the "Foliage Capital of the World". Over twenty local nurseries will be on site to help you select the perfect plants for your home and garden. You can also hop on one of our buses and take a firsthand tour of working nurseries and see where Apopka's world famous foliage is grown.
Bring an appetite and enjoy delicious food while being entertained by a variety of musicians. Children can spend time catching butterflies in a netted tent, get their faces painted and do a craft. The paper hats are beautifully decorated for a day in the park or for the Kentucky Derby. This year, approximately 400 local children will sing or dance at the gazebo.
The festival is sponsored by the GFWC Apopka Woman's Club and the City of Apopka. Revenue from the event goes to about 22 local non-profit charities and provides scholarships for Apopka students. Admission to the festival is FREE. No pets are allowed per city ordinance. For further information, call 407-889-2628 or go to www.apopkaartandfoliagefestival.org.
