The Longwood Arts & Crafts Festival reaches its 50th year next weekend. The City of Longwood is hosting the anniversary edition on Saturday, November 21, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday, November 22, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., in the city's Historic District, with more than 200 artists and crafters signed up to show and sell their work.

The festival first ran in the 1970s, and the 2026 show is its 50th annual edition, a milestone the city announced on its own news page this month. Both days are on the city's events calendar, in Longwood, Seminole County, Florida.

What the weekend looks like

The festival sets up in Historic Downtown Longwood, the city's Historic District, near Longwood City Hall at 175 W. Warren Ave. The city describes the show as original work by artists and artisans: handmade pieces, fine art and crafts, with the two days falling at the start of holiday shopping season, the weekend before Thanksgiving.

Saturday runs an hour longer than Sunday, so anyone planning a slower browse has the most time on the first day.

A second reason to go on Saturday

The city's weekly farmers market at Reiter Park, 311 W. Warren Ave., is also on the calendar for Saturday, November 21, from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., a short walk west along Warren Avenue from the festival. The city lists locally sourced seafood and produce at the market along with handmade crafts and gifts. The market returns the following Saturday, November 28, on the same schedule.

Other city events this season

The festival is one of several City of Longwood events on the fall calendar. The city held its Longwood Luau at Reiter Park on November 7, and its events page lists the Saturday farmers market through the rest of November. Businesses that want to sponsor or set up a booth at a future city event can apply through the city's vendor and sponsor page.
