ART IN THE PARK!!! Plan Now!
This year's event will be March 10th and 11th. On March 10, from 10am - 5pm, and March 11th, from 10am to 4pm. The earlier date will provide cooler weather for thie outdoor event and be much more convenient for our seasonal residents.
Our host location, Tom Varn Park, is located at 306 Darby Lane, Brooksville, FL 34601. (just off SR-50A/Jefferson Street) You’ll find Brooksville about 40 miles north of Tampa.
Many returning artists tell us this is their favorite show, partly due to the beautiful, shady setting. There’s plenty of parking and rest room facilities.
Thousands of attendees last year reunited with art friends or made some new ones. Gorgeous shady park setting Hernando County is home to many artists and craftspeople.
Art in the Park is presented by the Hernando County Fine Arts Council and other sponsors yet to be announced.
