Patrons will stroll along beautiful Blumberg Boulevard viewing the work of 125 fine artists, enjoying music and entertainment by performing artists and tasting a variety of foods. Ranked in Money magazine’s July 2007 issue as one of the “Best Places To Live” in the U.S., the city of Winter Springs is located in northeast Seminole County and hugs the edge of Lake Jesup on the St. Johns River basin. The attractive town center, which serves as the city’s new “downtown,” offers an ideal venue for an outdoor arts festival. Based on current weekend customer traffic at the village center, the festival is expected to attract approximately 20,000 upscale connoisseurs of fine and performing art from throughout the Central Florida region.
