Save the date! The Mandarin Art Festival celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2018. The event will take place on Saturday, March 31, and Sunday, April 1.

The festival brings together more than 100 local and national artist exhibitors for the weekend event, which also features food vendors, children’s activities, live musical entertainment, a Children’s Art Show, historic tours, 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.
