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.

Beyond the artwork, the festival is built to spark meaningful connections between artists, audiences, and local businesses — highlighting the role of arts and culture in building vibrant communities and inviting visitors to take a lasting piece of Florida's creative spirit home.

Wander a district made entirely of art.

From mural painters working in real time to glass artisans shaping molten color, the festival turns the EDGE District into an open studio. Every venue, every block, a new discovery.
