Cedar Key is a unique community of 7 islands connected by bridges, with 1800's buildings and Native American history. Experience the magic of our small island community on the weekend of April 13-14, while also connecting with two larger festivals in NW Florida on the weekend before (Gainesville Santa Fe Spring Arts Festival) and the weekend after (St Petersburg Mainsail Arts Festival). Apply separately to each festival. A smart planner can work three shows in two weeks!
