The Florida State Fair kicks off this weekend outside Tampa. It's happening February 5th through the 16th with all the things you love about fairs: fried this, stuffed that, crazy rides, and plenty of "Wow, that's how people used to live?" exhibits. Tickets are $7 to $9.
Also kicking off this weekend is the 40th Annual Mount Dora Arts Festival. The down buzzes with art, food, and music this Saturday and Sunday from 10:00am to 5:00pm.
The FAVO First Friday and Saturday Art Show and Market is going on this weekend. Stop by Friday from 5:00 to 9:00pm and Saturday from 10:00am to 5:00pm for art, food trucks, kids' activities, and live music.
Bonus: Thursday, February 5th
Ladies Night Valentine Shopping & Cocktails is happening at Cloak & Dapper this Thursday from 6:00 to 9:00pm. The event includes cocktails, hors d'oeuvre, and shopping specials. (If you don't have a valentine to shop for, you can always flirt with the male models...)
Smiling Bison is hosted its First Thursday Songwriter Series this Thursday from 8:00 to 11:00pm with live acts and good food.
This Thursday is the third annual Orlando Mix Tape. It's $25, but I'm sneaking it in because this concert benefits the amazing Urban Think Foundation, a non-profit that supports local culture, education, literacy, and literature. Tickets can be purchased at The Social starting at 7:30pm.
