This festival, which will celebrate its 48th year of continuous operation in 2013, has become a city-wide tradition for generations of residents in and around DeLand. Home to Stetson University, DeLand boasts an art-savvy public that embraces the event as their "hometown" show. Separation of fine art and craft from traditional art and craft insures an interested public visiting each section. Extensive media campaign and public relations support reach beyond the immediate market. Many artists and crafters return every year.
