Fall Festival season begins in downtown Gainesville Saturday, October 4 from 10:00am-4:00pm during the 5th Annual Art in the Square Festival sponsored by Main Street Gainesville. Professional and amateur artists from the region will be displaying and selling original art work in all media.

The day will include a children’s artist market, arts and crafts for kids, live music and performers. Many participating artists will donate one small painting to be displayed at Frames You-Nique through October 4 for a special art show and silent auction. Proceeds from the auction will benefit Challenged Child and Friends. Art in the Square is free and open to the public. For more information contact Joe Burnett, Main Street Gainesville or
