McIntosh 1890s Festival

About

Held in historic McIntosh between Ocala and Gainesville, the McIntosh 1890s Festival is a juried event hosting 280+ vendors on the tree-lined streets of a town with 62 National Register buildings. The festival draws 30,000+ attendees seeking handmade goods, antiques, arts, and crafts—steady foot traffic throughout the day. No commercial vendors. Expect a high-energy, high-volume event: booth space is 12×10, and the festival requires professional presentation, full-day staffing, and compliance with event standards. Outdoor event, rain or shine, with vendor setup Friday evening or Saturday morning.
