This year we are going into our 22nd year of Main Street Festivals! That means 21 years of experience behind us. In all those years, we’ve learned a thing or two. And we try to put those things we’ve learned into making next years festival even better than the year before. So far it’s been working for us. So stick around and see what this year looks like!
This year, 2025, we are scheduled for Sunday, November 16th. Main street will again be lined with over 200 unique vendors and thousands of guests looking for that one special gift, or piece of art for their home, or just a delicious treat that is not always available through out the year. Live music will be available at both the main stage and the south stage, which anchors the south end of the street. And if nothing else, the fresh air and excercise is just what the doctor ordered!
The intent of the festival is to showcase local businesses and talent, along with the beauty and charm of historic downtown Alachua. Proceeds go towards various scholarships provided by the ABL to local students planning on continuing their education at Santa Fe College.
If you are a festival goer, you know you do not want to miss this event. The return of faithful vendors as well as the promise of something unique that you won’t find anywhere else. cap that off with the smell of kettle corn and fried foods in the air, and you have a recipe for a perfect day! This event always proves to be a fun filled day for kids of all ages and this year will be no exception!
