LeMoyne’s Chain of Parks Art Festival, in its 17th year, is the Big Bend Region’s premiere outdoor fine art festival.  Located in downtown Tallahassee along Park Avenue, just east of Monroe Street, the festival is free and open to the public. Visitors view and purchase amazing one-of-a-kind works from over 150 fine artists from all over the US while enjoying a weekend of fun, fine art, local culinary delights, children’s pop-up art studios, community partners and live entertainment.  Art, culture and local heritage abound at the festival with reenactments of Jacques LeMoyne, the first European artist to visit Florida and sketch images of the natives and local flora and fauna, pop-up studios for children and adults to experience making art, the community’s best entertainers on the stage and much more.
