Meet Me Downtown at the 31st Annual Leesburg Fine Art Festival and Jazz on the Square

by Amy Griffin, Executive Director
Leesburg Center for the Arts

As the Executive Director of the Leesburg Center for the Arts, it is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the 31st Annual Leesburg Fine Art Festival and Jazz on the Square. I am so proud to be a part of the team that brings artists, musicians, and dancers together from all over the country to celebrate the culture that brings our community together.

As the white tents pop up all over Historic Downtown Leesburg, the excitement of spring brings an opportunity for artists and appreciative audiences to come together each year in an atmosphere unlike any other. This year brings a special venue to downtown. Our new Leesburg Public Library, a cultural center to the city, is now open and musicians and dancers will be featured at the new amphitheater at the Library. You will also want to visit the Town Square by City Hall for the Jazz on the Square event, featuring Jazz musicians from all over Central Florida. The artists you’ll find up and down Main Street are among the best in the country. You will certainly be moved by their artwork, and I invite you to make their art a part of your life by purchasing something you can enjoy for a lifetime.

As you walk the streets of downtown Leesburg this weekend you will see a fantastic mix of cultures and methods of expression. We are a living, breathing, thriving destination for visitors with so much to offer. We are an exciting community for residents to live and work in.

I hope you'll bring your family and "Meet Me Downtown" this weekend. It’s an incredible place to be and you’ll definitely want to be a part of it.
