Hastings Main Street Fall Festival of Art

Centered on the historic Stanton Ford Building, 301 N. Main Street, the festival fills the surrounding streets and public spaces with art, unique vendors, live music, savory food and a kids’ zone. Founded in the late 19th century, the community served as an agricultural center supplying fresh vegetables for the luxury hotels built by Henry Flagler in nearby St. Augustine. By 1910, it had acquired the name “Hastings” after Thomas Horace Hastings – a cousin of Flagler and the man responsible for providing quality food for the wealthy guests staying at the Ponce de Leon Hotel. And yes, Hastings remains the “Potato Capital of Florida.”

The 2nd Annual Hastings Fall Festival of Art on Thanksgiving Weekend, November 30 and December 1, 2024, in collaboration with the St. Augustine Art Association. This vibrant event showcases a diverse array of artists and makers, featuring mediums such as painting, glasswork, pottery, fiber art, photography, jewelry, and more.

Attendees can experience live music and entertainment, indulge in delicious offerings from food trucks, and explore the excitement of the kids' zone. This family-friendly affair takes place on Saturday from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. on North Main Street in downtown Hastings, FL.
