The Leesburg Arts & Music Festival 2027 returns to Main St in downtown Leesburg, Florida for its 50th anniversary, featuring a juried visual‑arts exhibition alongside an expanded music program. The event runs March 14‑15, 2027 and is organized by the Leesburg Center for the Arts and the Leesburg Special Events Department. Up to 75 artists may be selected to exhibit original work in categories such as Ceramics, Drawing/Printmaking, Fine Crafts, Glass, Jewelry, Painting, Mixed Media, Photography/Digital Art, Sculpture, and Fiber. All work must be created by the artist after 2023, be original, and not be mass‑produced or commercial. Artists may submit a maximum of three images of their work and one image of the display setup; each category entered requires a separate application and a $25 jury fee (non‑refundable). Booth fees are $150 for a standard 11'×11' space or $250 for a double space, payable with the application. The deadline for applications, images, and the jury fee is 11:59 p.m. EST on December 18, 2026. Selected artists will be notified by February 26, 2027 and must confirm participation and pay the booth fee by March 14, 2027. The festival expects about 10,000 visitors and provides artist parking, overnight parking, and promotional advertising. All participating artists must be present for the entire event and are responsible for collecting Florida sales tax on any sales.
