Englewood Rotary Hosts 43rd Annual Fine Arts Festival on Dearborn Street

A Weekend of Art, Food, and Community Giving—Proceeds Support Local Youth Programs

The Rotary Club of Englewood is proud to present the 43rd Annual Fine Arts Festival, a two-day celebration of creativity and craftsmanship. The festival will take place on Saturday, March 29, and Sunday, March 30, from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM in the heart of Englewood on Dearborn Street.

This annual event will transform Dearborn Street into an open-air gallery, showcasing a diverse selection of talented artists displaying and selling their original works. Attendees can browse an extensive collection of handcrafted and one-of-a-kind pieces, including fine jewelry, art glass, paintings, photography, ceramics, sculpture, and much more. Whether you are an art enthusiast or simply looking for a unique gift, there will be something for everyone.

Beyond the stunning artwork, visitors can enjoy delicious food and beverages from local restaurants and vendors. The festival also provides a wonderful opportunity to explore the charming shops of Dearborn Street, making for a full day of art, shopping, and community spirit.

Admission to the festival is free, but Rotary Club members will be accepting a suggested $2 donation. These contributions directly benefit the Englewood Rotary Youth Foundation, which plays a vital role in supporting local youth programs. Through this foundation, more than $47,000 is awarded annually in scholarships to Lemon Bay High School students. Donations also help fund various youth-focused initiatives, including:

• The One Book, One School literacy program at Myakka River Elementary
• Englewood Area Little League
• Eagle Scout projects
• Kids’ Needs, a local organization providing resources for children
