What’s Happening
The Cottage Artisan Market features the area’s best makers and wares, including jewelry, ceramics, glasswork, pottery, art, and textiles.
There is also a ‘meet and greet’ with two renowned members of Florida’s Highwaymen. R.L. Lewis will do a live painting demonstration while Curtis Arnett will sell his artwork. Painters Obie Hunter and Rosamond Parrish will offer plein art demonstrations, capturing the
beauty of Main Street in real-time. Muralist Brook Page is collaborating with R.L. Lewis and bringing one of his commissioned works to life on a large scale.
Art enters a new dimension as the Tale Tellers of St. Augustine delight festival-goers with live storytelling and street performances.
Saturday’s Kids Zone is packed with fun and an extra special kids workshop, “Celebrating Sunflowers: Nature’s Food Source”. Offered in collaboration with the Smithsonian Institute, the workshop allows youngsters to create their own sunflower paintings while discovering how sunflowers help the environment and provide tasty seeds and oil. The Kids Zone also offers face painting, crafts, and games to entertain them.
Beginning at 11:00am, live music sets the mood. And, no one goes hungry with a selection of food trucks and Hasting’s Coffee Co. serving up
delicious food and drinks.
The festival is a collaboration between Hastings Main Street and the St. Augustine Art Association.
