Apopka Art and Foliage Festival Apr 25-26

Apopka’s Art and Foliage Festival returns this weekend for its 64th year, bringing a free two-day mix of art, plants, food, and family activities to Kit Land Nelson Park. (apopka.gov) The festival runs Saturday, April 25, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday, April 26, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Kit Land Nelson Park in downtown Apopka. The Apopka Woman’s Club is hosting it in partnership with the City of Apopka. (apopka.gov) Organizers say the event will feature juried art and crafts from award-winning artists and crafters, plus foliage vendors selling locally grown plants. The festival website also points visitors to food, concessions, an information table, and plant-sitting service near the foliage area. (apopkawomansclub.org) (apopkaartandfoliagefestival.org) City listings describe the weekend as a free, family-friendly event, and local event coverage says it is aimed at families, gardeners, and art buyers as much as casual visitors. That mix reflects Apopka’s long-running identity as both a plant-growing center and a community that uses spring festivals to draw people downtown. (apopka.gov) (theapopkavoice.com) The festival’s history is part of the draw. City officials issued a proclamation for Art and Foliage Festival Weekend at the April 1, 2026 commission meeting, underscoring how closely the event is tied to Apopka’s civic calendar. (apopka.gov) The official festival site tells visitors to park at Edwards Field and pick up a special festival edition of the Apopka Chief with a site map and vendor locations. That setup suggests a park-wide event built around walking between art tents, foliage booths, concessions, and the gazebo area. (apopkaartandfoliagefestival.org) For Apopka, the weekend is less a single attraction than a hometown ritual: a 64-year-old festival where plant sellers and juried artists share the same park, and where the city expects visitors to spend both days browsing.
