54 YEARS OF OUTSTANDING ART...

Mayfaire by-the-Lake launched in 1971 as a small crafts fair on the lawn of the Lakeland Public Library, but, in the decades since, it has grown into one of Florida’s largest and most celebrated annual outdoor art festivals.

Presented on Mother’s Day weekend each year, Mayfaire features more than 15,000 visitors who enjoy the works of approximately 145 artists and is held on the shores of beautiful Lake Morton in downtown Lakeland.

One of the oldest arts festivals in Central Florida, Mayfaire has been ranked among Sunshine Artist Magazine’s “200 Best Art Shows” for ten years in a row. Need more convincing? Always a good selling, well attended show, you owe it to yourself to apply today for the annual Citizens Bank & Trust Mayfaire by-the-Lake fine art festival and see firsthand why Mayfaire has such a great reputation!

$17,000 in awards... In five categories!

"We are considered a fine art festival and not a craft show. All artwork must be original (one of a kind) and handmade by the applicant. Buy/Sell work is strictly prohibited."
