From February 1 – 29, the United Arts of Central Florida presents ArtsFest, a free smorgasbord of the area’s cultural offerings at 87 venues across 4 counties.
This annual affair, designed to get locals to sample the arts, brings together an enormous number of events from the ballet to the symphony, from creative writing workshops to improvisational shows.
All 302 events have been outlined in this digital brochure, but here are a few of my favorites:
