The grounds of the Floyd Center for the Arts will be transformed into an old-world village square at the Center’s first Mayfaire. All are welcome to join in this family-friendly free event, which includes art and craft vendors, live music, artisan demonstrations, kids’ activities and lots more.

In addition to more than 30 art and craft vendors, there will be free entertainment and activities throughout the weekend including:

• Bubble Painting

Saturday’s live music includes Kari Kovick of Heart of the Child Music Education, who will be conducting interactive musical activities geared toward toddlers and children of all ages featuring songs from her new CD, "It’s You I Like", followed by performances by Cocobolo, then Flight One blues band.

Festive, renaissance and fairy attire are all welcome and encouraged! Along with all of the amazing artisanal items available, fairy crowns, face-painting and other hand-made festive accouterments will also be available for sale.

“We are so excited to host the community at this first-of-its-kind event at the Center!” says Becky Lattuca, the Center’s Director of Programming, “We wanted to have an outdoor event showcasing the area’s creative talents, and we wanted it to be more than just an art and craft sale - we wanted it to be an interactive, fun and festive gathering that all ages would enjoy. So, during the cold, dreary days of winter while longing for the warmth and color of springtime, we decided a Mayfaire would be the perfect way to get together and celebrate our creative community!”

The Floyd Center for the Arts is located at 220 Parkway Lane South in Floyd, VA, ½ mile south of the stoplight on Route 8.
