From FloridaRambler.com Cedar Key Art Festival, April 13-14, 2013: $2 crab cakes in a cool small town
Thirty years later, Thelma is still at it. And the crab cakes are still $2. “We keep telling her to raise her prices — everything else has gone up ,” says Cedar Key Art Festival event coordinator Mandy Cassiano. Fortunately for us, Thelma continues to offer a real deal. The Cedar Key Garden Club will sell fresh-squeezed lemonade. The Cedar Key Future Farmers of America will sell fresh-fried grouper. “You’ll see tons of school kids and their teachers volunteering,” Cassiano said.
Officially called the Old Florida Celebration of the Arts, the Cedar Key Art Festival is celebrating its 49th year, making it one of the oldest art fairs in Florida. It’s a juried fine art fair, which means it attracts 120 serious artists vying for $16,000 in prize money. Like Cedar Key itself, the Cedar Key Art Festival is a slice of authentic Old Florida. This historic small town is located on an island on Florida’s Gulf coast, about 60 miles west of Ocala. It’s not near any city, and that is part of what has preserved its small-town flavor and historic buildings.
The Cedar Key Art Festival is free. Booths for the 120 artists line the quaint historic main street. At the beach-front city park, only local non-profit vendors are allowed to sell food. As a result, little old church ladies, high school kids and the town’s leaders are all there selling foods you won’t find anywhere else.
