A four-day immersive arts festival winding through the historic EDGE District, transforming sidewalks, storefronts, and street corners into one walkable living gallery.
Booker Creek Arts Festival is designed to energize Florida artists and celebrate the local businesses within the historic EDGE District — turning four days in November into an immersive cultural getaway.
Hundreds of juried Florida artists. Dozens of participating venues. One walkable living gallery where storefronts become showrooms, street corners become stages, and every block reveals something you didn't expect.
