We welcome your application to the 48th Annual Tarpon Springs Fine Arts Festival on the Bayou, a premier outdoor event. Spring Bayou anchors Tarpon Springs’ interlocking waterways that directly feed into the Gulf of Mexico. These waters draw thousands of day visitors and winter residents. Tarpon Springs sits at the north end of Florida's most densely-populated county, accessible from the entire Tampa Bay area. It offers an old Florida ambience with its brick streets, restored Victorian mansions and intimate bungalows surrounding the Festival venue. 
 
Downtown boasts a variety of restaurants and shops, just two blocks away. The historic Sponge Docks area, celebrating Greek heritage, is an easy walk or trolley ride away. The Festival, in the midst of these attractions, provides a unique opportunity for purchasing fine art and fine craft. 
10806865500?profile=RESIZE_710xSome 18,000 loyal patrons flock to the show every year to interact with and buy from exhibitors, sample craft beer and good food, and enjoy live entertainment. Awards total $19,000.
