We invite you to be part of North Central Florida's oldest annual arts event and spring tradition - the Santa Fe College Spring Arts Festival. The Santa Fe Spring Arts Festival, one of the three largest annual events in Gainesville, is known for its high quality artwork and unique setting. The festival is held in the downtown historic district, nestled amid restored turn-of-the century homes, stately palms and abundant azaleas. More than 129,000 visitors attended the festival.
In 2007, the Starke Fall Festival underwent a major reorganization and became "Bradford Fest." Bradford Fest is an exciting new series of events to raise scholarship dollars for deserving Bradford County students and bring visitors to the Starke area. Events for Bradford Fest begin in early spring and conclude in May.
Come be part of the fun!
