Begun as a crafts fair on the lawn of the Lakeland Public Library,
MIDFLORIDA Mayfaire by-the-Lake has
grown into one of Florida's premier outdoor art festivals. Held on Mother's Day weekend each year, Mayfaire is
located on the shores of beautiful Lake Morton in downtown Lakeland,
Florida. Mayfaire is one of the largest and oldest outdoor art festivals in
Central Florida. Come see why it has such a great reputation!
- Over 180 artists: With so many to choose from, you're sure to
find one you love! From jewelers, to clay artists, to painters; landscapes
and wildlife to pure abstraction, any artistic taste will be satisfied.
- Free parking and shuttle service: Free parking at Florida Southern College on the corner of Johnson and McDonald. A free shuttle will run between the parking lot and the festival.
- MayFerrys: Free shuttles will run around Lake Morton and up to the Museum during the festival.
- Food and beverage vendors: A wide variety of great edibles are
available for purchase including smoothies, funnel cakes, shaved ice and MORE!
- Live entertainment: Local musicians, dance companies, and VSA
arts of Florida perform on stage on the shady front lawn of Lakeland Public
Library throughout the weekend.
- Hands-on Children's Art Tent and Kids Zone: Located in the Museum's parking lot, this part of Mayfaire will include several FREE art activities designed for participation by children of ALL abilities, as well as bounce houses and a rock climbing wall. (There will be a small fee to play on the bounce houses and rock wall).
