The Mandarin Art Festival will this year be held in October, breaking from the half-century long Easter weekend tradition due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Bringing together more than 100 local and national artist exhibitors the Festival also features food vendors, children’s activities, live musical entertainment, a Children’s Art Show, a Green Market featuring locally-produced consumables, and more. Established in 1968, the Mandarin Art Festival is the longest running event of its kind in Northeast Florida.
Presented by the Mandarin Community Club, a local non-profit organization, the Mandarin Art Festival is a vital funding source for the Club’s preservation, education and beautification work in the Mandarin community, including the maintenance of the three historic properties under its ownership and care.
