THE HOLIDAYS ARE RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER
and so is the Ybor City
MAIN STREET ARTS & CRAFTS HOLIDAY SHOW!

(Ybor City – Tampa, Fl) – Although successful throughout all of the changing seasons, the largest Main Street Arts & Crafts Series to date will take place on November 22nd and 23rd with thousands of holiday gifts for everyone! Historic Ybor City and the Main Street Arts & Crafts Series are the perfect places to get into the spirit of the holidays and to work on your holiday shopping. Saturday, November 22nd and Sunday, November 23rd, from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, Centennial Park in Ybor City will welcome the holiday Arts & Crafts Show. Parking is free, admission is free!

Centennial Park will be a shopper’s paradise with over one hundred and fifty arts and crafts vendors from all over the country as well as Tampa Bay. The holiday season typically brings out their best so you won’t want to miss a thing! You will be able to shop and enjoy the fabulous art of aromatherapy homemade products, bamboo made musical instruments, cathedral glass art, cigar box purses, dolls, floral arrangements and wreaths, gel candles, holiday decorations, jewelry, lamp work, mirrors, mosaic stained glass, pet jewelry, pottery, soaps, vases, wind chimes, and woodcraft, just to name a few.

The Ybor City Main Street Association is part of the National Main Street Center, established by the National Trust for Historic Preservation. Main Street’s purpose is to push community involvement in creating a common goal of providing a positive image of Ybor City for its residents, visitors and businesses alike, increasing its potential for economic growth. The Main Street Arts & Crafts Series is the major fundraiser for the Ybor City Main Street Association.

We are thrilled to welcome to the holiday show, Bruce Clark, a local Amateur Photographer. You will not want to miss his tremendous talent, evident in his photographs of the unique architecture and rich colors of Tampa’s historic cigar factories. Bruce has found that a major part of Tampa’s legacy can be traced to these same buildings and to the Spanish, Italian, and Cuban immigrants who had toiled in them making the world renowned hand-rolled cigars.
